Perhaps I'll wait till Tom lowers the price, or are they a pointless buy since St Petersburg never made it to the shortlist back in those days where mini bid books weren't present (which ironically is the format they're going back to).

Hi

I'm looking to sell my 1992 Brisbane Bid Book. Please email your offer to clunkygirl66@gmail.com.

I may list this book on eBay but wanted to give people here first option. I have had a book seller make me an offer but I'd rather the book go to a collector.

Photos can be emailed if needed.

Cheers

There's a Paris 2008 set on ebay if anyone wants it. I already have those.

LD could you repost the pics of your 2008 ones? The ones you posted on the thread years ago dont show up anymore (expired i guess).

This seller doesn't have the slipcase unfortunately.

Is the Paris one still on eBay. I am a new collector and I don't have any bid books at the moment but I would really like to start collecting them. If anyone could tell me how to get hold of them that would be much appreciated.

Hi! Yes, the 2008 is still on ebay. It is a solid set and quite nice (although the container is missing). Some books are easy to find (like Berlin 2000). Otherwise watch out ebay or maybe contact your national Olympic Committee. Sometimes Bid books pop up on ebay.

My Östersund 1998 book came today, really happy with the quality of the book despite the overdue delivery and a few marks and folds... Really excited to see the venue plan and presentation!

Unfortunately this seller from Greece is not exactly selling the complete Athens 1996 bid book. He's selling the contents of the 6 sub file binders (the X amount of mini-books) and not the complete package.

Which is a shame, because I really want one and offered him an offer. He says he has this and one that was in a wooden package. Guess he wants to keep the presentation box on display for his exhibitions as people don't actually see the contents, plus he has another one.

That Athens Guy is back selling another 1996 Bid Book Set - http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATHENS-1996-OLYMPIC-CANDIDATE-CITY-6-SUBFILES-FROM-THE-BIDING-FILE-/222126974295?

^^Seems to be the complete Set with the Box according to the Pictures provided. I'd go for it but timing kills it for me...

Nope. Quoted from the text.

THIS AUCTION IS ONLY ABOUT THE 6 SUBFILES. THE PHOTOS OF THE HOLE BIDING FILE ARE ONLY TO GET AN IDEA AND NOT OF THE SELLING ITEM

It's the complete set of books you get from the whole bid package. I contacted him if he was willing to sell the whole thing, but no, he's only willing to sell whatever X mini books there are.

I guess he want's to keep the package for display purposes, as he's a regular in exhibits, I guess all you need to do is show off the box and not so much the contents.
