Looking at copies of David Knowles' book - MG V8 - advertised on eBay, the spread of prices the book is offered for is puzzling. The chart alongside shows the prices including UK P&P offered by UK traders. The lowest is £19.29 and the highest is £40.00 with an average of £30.67. The price of the book on the publisher's website - Crowood - is £30.50 which is effectively on the average.

Five good value offers range from £19.29 to £24.68 so the highest there is offered at a discount of £5 or 19% on the average and Crowood prices.


When the V8 Register offered 100 copies of this book for sale on the V8 website in 2014 they were offered as copies signed by the author as that was the only way we could compete with the dominant tax avoiding online traders!
