Instruction Manual for Asahi Pentax Spotmatic from 1970

I was cleaning out some old boxes of ''collectable junk'' to throw out when I came across the like new original instruction manual and other paperwork for my Asahi Spotmatic that I purchased new in 1970 and has been long gone. My question is this manual worth anything if I try to sell it on EBay or elsewhere (or here?)? Any comments would be appreciated.

Look on eBay for past (completed) auctions and find out...

Contact Mike (mike@butkus.org) - he deals in user guides for film cameras. A very decent guy, highly recommended.

It is to somebody, even if you just give it away and charge for shipping. I really appreciate having the paper manuals for my old cameras...

These were great cameras. Took one on a 6-month trip to Europe in 1970. Still have two of them and lenses. Hmmm. Good memories!
