Short I do some selling on E-bay in the winter to supplement re support farming. Most of what I sell is farm related paper such as your manuals and ad literature. Manuals are softer than literature. Condition is everything. If they are in the condition you describe you will have a tough time. Someone else will always have something a little better shape. Demand has something to do with price also. Don't know how many people are looking for Clipper manuals out there. My advice is if you had the memories I think you did looking through those books it would be a shame to sell them. The value to the public will be a fraction of what the memories of your father are. I consider myself a small dealer of sorts yet there are certain books I won't sell for the above stated reason. If you do decide to sell do a search like you are looking to buy the manual you are about to sell. If you click the "completed items" box on the left you will get a idea of what the demand is judging by what actually sells also a good idea on value. All in all like the rest I would suggest keeping them. HTH jt
