Tools of the trade. History of the past

[taber hodaka]

Old Blue books are fun to review as they list all makes and models. The new price, used trade in value and used retail. It was a real tool when taking in trades. At times I had around 30 used hodaka's in the 1970's. When Hodaka had one model Honda had 18. These are Hap Jones and I have used others.

New shows model and new retail price

Used average trade in and average retail

The fun thing it shows all brand names makes and models------------Clarence

Interesting to see the prices of those bikes, in particular, the new Husqvarnas. I bought a new 250 'cross back in '71 and it cost me around $1200.00 if I remember correctly.

Yes it lists the Husqvarna 250 cross at $1210.00 for 1971. Clarence

Other Value guides blue books, but one I still can't find. See how many Honda models they made. Clarence

This is the black book and I do not get the .50 deal

The Kelly book has three sections 1- average market value ''trade in"? 2 - fair market value " retail"? 3 - Invoice loan codes " suggested list" And " loan values for lenders"
