nerdistmonk Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 So i was scanning ebay looking for a paperback version of the 1986.5 fsm and i notice there are sellers selling the pdf manuals you can get online for free, getting like $6 a piece some of these money grubbers are asking $12 to $15 each...........what a shame.

thatguy Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I get what you're saying. Some people will take advantage of you every chance they get. It's up to you to be educated. In this day and age of technology, it's pretty easy to learn before you buy. 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 cant you download it somewhere? if so, then yea, those guys are messed up, but at the same time people are also too lazy to look and if thats the case then well, $6 fee i guess. but if you cant find it anywhere then I would pay that. shit I would seriously pay a few bucks if I could find a service manual to my 1974 Dokorder Reel to Reels, even for a computer copy!!!!!!!!

nerdistmonk Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 yeah but this is the common as dirt 1989-1997 fsm that you can get in meer seconds online (i got it, use it for my 1986.5) Quote Link to comment
Camtron Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Plenty of "buyer beware" on eBay. Like all the "NOS" parts being sold for 3 times the msrp even though they're still available from Nissan. 1 Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Dude, $6, $10, or $15? That's cheap. Seriously cheap. If you bought the FSM in 1986.5, it would have cost you $130-$200. 1 Quote Link to comment

Read the thread, they are selling a digital pdf file, not a paperback book. You can get the pdf for free online Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yeah, but someone bought that "free" pdf at some point. I hardly think they're charging highway robbery for less than $15. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 as I said, its a simple laziness fee, if people fail to look and just buy it its pretty much their fault. but in the cases where the manual is totally unavailable, then theres little choice if you want shit fixed.

Jdm720 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Speaking of FSMs, anybody got one for an '84 720..? I have the Haynes manual, but it's.. Eh. Quote Link to comment
nerdistmonk Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 mmmmm so um is that a sign of deep deliberation? or maybe a sign of contentment with this thread? or oooo i know......you just got yourself a nice pizza and thats the natural response to opening the box! or perhaps im completely mistaken and you just posted in the wrong thread. The world....may never know. Quote Link to comment
