I bought one of my A4 OM-1 brochures like this one from Ebay. So they do come
up, but not very often.
I like your insight on the literature collections. I didn't think of that
connection between systems "going collectable" and literature prices. But it
makes a lot of sense. I just don't want to see it get out of hand like the
$300 OM Way books.

The funny thing is that I have the same brochure, and I would not have
expected
that it was worth that much. Do they really sell? And who buys them? >>
It's rare in the sense that this is the first one to ever appear on eBay
(to the best of my knowledge). Sure these sell. This one is being
offered by Brad Bennett, who has probably seen what other literature is
going for. The are bought by folks trying to get complete literature
collections and reference materials on the OM System. Anytime a system
goes collectable, the literature on it becomes valuable.
