All Price Codes
Page |
This page opens in a separate browser window (or tab). This makes it
easy to access all the Price Codes for various items without leaving the
page you are on. It has a horizontal navigation menu which will bring each
chart to the top for instant reference without scrolling. The Price Code
charts below are individual pages and are the ones you get if you click
a Price Code link in our Manuals Catalogs. |

| Note about items with no
Price Codes |
| We use
a system of Price Codes for various types of products and construction methods.
They are rounded off averages of various factors including shipping materials.
We do not want to make money on shipping charges, nor set some excessive
flat-rate shipping cost, nor weigh each individual shipment. The precise
amount we paid for postage on your individual package will be somewhat more
or less than what we charged you. |
| There
are basically NO CLICK TO BUY BUTTONS
ON THIS SITE. If you were on a Manuals Catalog page that had Price
Codes and somehow didn't notice, YOU CAN
Buy It Now With Paypal (RIGHT NOW)
without contacting us first. Otherwise, you need to see

For you easily frustrated
folks... Chill out! If you find a manual listed that you want, but there
is no Price Code, you will not be able to wander all over the site and eventually
find something that has not yet been made available.
We hope
you will spend some time checking out our site, BUT PLEASE... don't keep
looking for prices if it isn't listed along with the manual model number.
All that accomplishes is you getting frustrated and sending us nasty letters.
We have done many stupid things, but we're not so dumb as to intentionally
hide prices just to get you upset.
IT IS NOT simply a matter of typing
them in. If it was that easy, it would have been done ages ago. We are doing
all we can do to finish the cataloging /descriptive work so Price Codes
can be listed with each manual. So, until then... NO PRICE CODE?? - GO TO
Simple Purchasing Info in our Terms/Purchasing
section. |

| About our Price Codes and
Shipping Rate Charts |
|
This section is to explain about our Price Codes, why we use them, how they
work, and how you can best use them. |
When we examine one of our original manuals for the first
time, we make a detailed description of it's size, exactly how we will reproduce
it, and possibly add additional notes, etc. We use our best judgment to
assign a conservative and guaranteed quality rating for that exact item.
We then assign a Price Code to that item.
We use a Price Code rather
than assign a fixed price to each item for several reasons. The main reason
is that it gives us the ability to adjust all prices up or down and/or adjust
shipping costs by simply editing one page instead of recoding hundreds of
web pages and 10's of thousands of items. We are located in the USA. The
charts show a default shipping cost for that item for both domestic USA
(also Canada) and another cost for International (every place that is not
USA/Canada). It may also show an optional shipping costs for some. Some
of those are Priority Mail instead of First Class, Priority Mail International
instead of regular Letter Post Air, etc. In some cases Priority and PMI
are the default.
When you click on a price code link in our Manuals
Catalog, a small, fast loading page for that price code chart will load.
You can use your browser's back button to immediately return to where you
were. However, if you are browsing our catalog and looking at multiple items,
we make a better way to use the price code charts. In addition to the individual
pages, we have a All Price Codes Page page that
contains all the charts on the same page. It is slower to load for you dial-up
modem users. Page size is 133kb. All the smaller individual chart pages
also have links to open the All Codes page.
It has several identical
horizontal menus that look like this (except with working links)...
