Thanks for the kind words, but again - Mike deserves the credit for the document's appearance and layout.

Constructive criticism is also appreciated!

I like it! I'm sure I won't agree on every price, but I scanned through a bit and so far it seemed pretty spot on to me. I really appreciate Mike's take on this and the forward thinking towards the hobby. Antiques seem to be kryptonite to millenials. I think that will change, but this might well be a good idea. The gouge-y dealers will just have to work a little harder on their stories to eek out the high prices they want. New-Old-Stock owned by Amelia Earhart, etc.

I agree that available information gives potential buyers peace of mind and thus helps the hobby grow and stay relevant. I am looking forward to when price ranges for categories II and III will become available. Unfortunately it appears that by getting into the hobby 8 years ago I overpaid for most of my common machines (from today's perspective), but that's OK since I enjoyed fixing up every single one of them. That's why it's my hobby and not my profession.

Thanks to all who put their work and expertise into these price guides.

I'm not a big fan of price guides, but that's just my two cents.....

Funny!

Ebay's completed auctions listings are a pretty good barometer.

Hats off to the entire crew at APS. The quarterly publication is second to none, the website is great and now a price guide. You all are the best! Anybody on this forum that doesn't subscribe will never know what you are missing.
Mike, don't worry you will get plenty of feedback, I'm sure you know there are a few machines absent but so far I love the format.
Happy Holidays to all!

On the left hand coast you can pretty much double the prices in this guide.
