Yes, it was the 150 Dollar Set. The Torino 2006 ones are not that well, as I have their additional Paralympic Copy and it is lousy as all of the 2006 Bid Books (except Sion).
But I will post pics when I have them
-
I just bought my Melbourne Set on an auction site and I am excited how they look like. Additionally to the Torino one, I also will get Sevilla and Buenos Aires 2004 this month. An expensive month it is :-/
-
The digital Version was also included in the Official Report (in parts and in the Torino 2006 Layout and Branding). This is why I bought it. They also produced a Paralympic Copy additional to the Bid book - nothing special but I got it as well. I will post pics when I have it

Uff... Finally found the Torino 2006 Bid Book on ebay. And bought it. 600 Dollar. I am crazy and need a drink. But I always wanted to have it and searched for nine years....

Well 200 bucks is not pricy for such an old and obviously well done Bid Book...
-
546 $ for Paris??? Ways too much for a not succesful Bid. I would pay 500 for a succesful bid - and not more. Anything over this is too much. Paris will pop up once again - be patient and don't throw money out of the window
-
Well, these are not the Bid Books. The Set consists of thee heavy volumes. These are some sport proposals and some issues from "Share the Spirit". But the items are nice and I would put them on ebay.
The real set would maybe go for 600 Dollar max. There is still the Beijing set available for around 600...

@ Olympic Fan Darcy: I cant see the Bid Book in his listings. 1400 Dollar is ways too much.
@BR2028: I dont have any spare copies, except Berlin 2000, New York 2012, Paris 2012, Chicago 2016, Rio 2016, Tokyo 2016 and Annecy and Munich 2018

I have got them all, except the Manchester ones and Athens 1996 (it was to bulky and incomplete, so I sold it).
-
I like that summary. I have the book either and although its just a sumamry, its the only information I have from the Manchester 1996 Bid. I have never seen the entire set of Manchester 1996
-
Really? Congratulations - thats a great Deal. you will love the Books and to me, its one of the most beautiful Winter Bid Books ever made. The branding of the Bid was incredible - so mich better what they come up with now.
-
Well, I dont think you wont find them much cheaper anywhere. And I dont know what you want in general - you always talk that you hope that there will be sth interesting popping up on ebay and when it comes to buying you dont do it. 95 Bugs for Salzburg 2014, 85 for the Applicant File of Istanbul 2020 (potential winning city)and only 85 for Calgary is a very good deal. The same with Sion 2002 - quite impossible to find nowadays and for 45 Dollar its the perfect deal. It was obvious that Sochi 2014 will go for more than 200 - its a beautiful set, a winning bid and I even expected them to go for more, because its a very tough find. In general, everything up to 150 for a non succesful Bid is more than fine - and if you take it serious you would pay that price.
-
They are all very nice, although Lillehammer 1992 and 1994 are not complete.
If I am right, the Nagano one is the version that was sent to IFS, Media and NOCs and not the IOC Version (but both version contain the IOC Questionnaire). Sion 2002 is nice and so is Salzburg. I guess Sochi will be very pricey.... And even the copmplete Istanbul Questionnaire is worth buying.
-
Well, the single volume is much better than the bid book, as it contains some nice texts and there are many beuatiful pictures of old Berlin and Berlin at the beginnings of the 90ies. There are also some graphics about venues.
But 34 pounds or 50 Dollar is ways too much. This single volume was handed out to IOC members and some VIPs.
The Bid Book of Berlin 2000 is a bit bland on the first Look as Lords says, but it is still informative and its fine if you are interested in the planing - not in the presentation. But overall, its true: All the other Bid Books for 2000 I have so far (Beijing, Sydney and IStanbul and Berlin) were ways better presented. Only Manchester 2000 came up with binders too - and they used very cheap and thin paper (only have volume one).
-
Anyway - where is the problem? You will get a summary of a Bid from 1990 - the original Bid Books from Manchester 1996 are almost impossible to find, so the Bid Books from Manchester 2000.

I sent you a PM.

@ Lord: I am glad that you found the Books of Berlin. Their concept was quite nice (many venues have been built as the Velodrome and the Aquatics center). They had no Budget problems back in 1993 but they produced 3500 (!!!) Bid Booksand and saved money in the production. Therefore they decided to produce them in this bland Binder-Version. Some of the sets included an additional Paralympic Binder (three binders in the container and the Paralympic one extra).
@OlympicFan:
Have you seen this already? Here you can get the Bid Books for about 90 Euro. I think the price is ok - but maybe you can get a good price if you send them an Email:

200 Pounds for a succesful Bid is not pricey and who cares if the case is included? Sure, its better with the container, but if the container is just a cardbord box, it really doesn`t matter. I would be happy to find the books I am still missing - no matter in which condition they are and no matter if the box is included.

London was offered so many times in the recent months. Was it three times?

Zakopane 2006 Volume II on ebay:
Looks good used
-
Would love to see an actual 2004 bid book pop up, Rome, Cape Town or Stockholm or really any bid books, coming close to London games where are they haha
Where are theyß They are almost impossible to find and wont pop up on ebay. Rome did pop up once within the last eight years, Capetown also and I have never seen Stockholm on ebay.
The Buenos Aires booklet seems to be a summary of the Bid and Mexico and Munich are the books submitted to the IOC.
-
Its worth the set. No matter if the Paralympic Volume is included or not - you are a bit hesistant when it comes to buy a bookset darcy, hm?!
Is still have Tokyo 2016 here, but I wont put it on ebay at the moment, as I am not willed to pay the fees.

The Set for 30 Euro is with the container but without the Paralympic folder - which belonged to set but it was a suplement and not in the container.
The set for 120 Euro is like the one for 30 Euro (3 folders in the container) and has the Paralympic Folder additionaly.
30 Euro is a good price for the set. Although its a boring one.

They had a Bid Book, like all the ten others.
