I wondered when this sort of thing
might start.
I guess you should hold off on buying his PDP8 stuff, and see if he has
it on cdrom as well.

Barry is a manuals dealer. He seems to be involved

being involved with old electronics in general he
would
have some affinity for it.
BTW, I confess to have caused the run-up in the price
of those documents. I misjudged Al's interest in
them,
and wanted to make sure that somebody else didn't get
them, only to have them disappear into a black hole.
It turns out that Al outbid me anyhow. I've offered to
buy the documents from Al after he's scanned them. I
really appreciate that Al is willing to spend his
personal funds to build the archive, and think that it
would be a good thing if we could spread the burden
around somehow.

I for one, would be willing to pay for scans of manuals. If Al had a way
to accept donations
I would be willing to help out. Even very small donations would add up
and help defray the cost of
purchasing new documents.

Is this someone selling copies of stuff you've scanned? You could
report it to eBay. This crops up a lot on another mailing list I'm on,
where one of the guys has scanned in all the technical manuals for a car
and keeps seeing copies of his CD pop up on eBay.

I don't think you can blame the whole community for this one person's
behavior, or is there something else you're not telling us?
I see overpriced "vintage" manuals on ebay all the time.
Hell, I see people trying to sell CDs of stuff that is just collected
from bitsavers.
This sort of thing has been going on for a long time, what is it about
this particular one that has you so pissed, Al?
