(FOUND - NO LONGER LOOKING) Anyone out there with a 1941 Dealer Album in decent condition at a fair price ?? They were technically called a "Feature Folio" with a green cover.
Thanks.

Here's one on ebay for $374 (US). He ships worldwide. I don't have any idea what the going rate is for these, but given their age and likely rarity, his price is probably not out of line. I routinely see dealer albums from the '60s and '70s fetching prices in the $100 to $200 range.
Thanks for your message. Prices at this level are what they use to fetch back in the '80s and early '90s when restoring cars of the 30s & 40s was much more popular. Sadly this sort of price no longer works as there's just not the same level of interest any longer. $200 is probably about the right price for these, but I can understand that those on eBay are more expensive as its a literature dealer selling them who has to make a living. I'll just need to keep looking for a bit longer. Thanks.

If you don't mind my asking, what does having to make a living have to do with it? There aren't TWO marketplaces out there. There's only one.
If this dealer can actually get his $350+ asking price for this, why shouldn't I, as a private seller looking to sell one, also get $350 for it? I'm not a charity. I'm not going to sell it for less just because I'm not making a living at it. (And as a buyer, I'm not going to pay MORE for it just because I'm buying it from a dealer if I can get it for less from a private seller.) As a seller, I want as much as I can get for it, just like anyone selling anything does. The value of something is not a function of who is selling it. It's a function of "what the market will bear," as it has always been.
I'm not saying that this seller will actually get his asking price. What I am saying is, don't be surprised if you don't find anyone will to sell one of these for $200 just because you think it's about right when they see that others are selling them for nearly twice as much.

Appreciate everyones feedback. My brother ended up finding the complete set at Hershey which included the Feature Folio book, Color & Fabrics book & the Dealer Facts Book so we're all covered now. Thank you.
