Hard to say if it is worth $5K, however...

Ever want a set of Saturn 1B "blueprint manuals"?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Saturn-1B-...c01f4%7Ciid%3A1

Of course, that's not what I would call it. These guys really p*** me off, especially since it's available for free here:http://www.semroc.com/Documents/pdf/Saturn%201B.pdf

Hope he/she gets a lump of coal in his/her stocking.

That sort of thing does not irritate me at all.
There is no guaranteed right to "Protect the STUPID".
Due diligence should fall 100% on the BUYER.... If someone falls for that, I have a one word response..... SUCKA !!!

What's even sadder is the misspelling of "lose".

We shouldn't pick on spelling mistakes (or point out the improper punctuation) . That wouldn't be nice. A person should be free to disparage others while .... Oh, never mind.

What is that listing selling anyway? It appears to be the instructions ("manual") for the kit? You can download the PDF from Semroc's website and print it. I am not sure if that effort is worth $152.

Edit: Apologies. It was already noted that the seller is selling something you can download for free. I didn't see the earlier posts about the other listings until now.

I can't tell you how many times this listing has made my heart jump (made you look)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Es...JEAAOSwhglbVP0N

Actually, I have bought some good stuff from CAP99 in the past.
