    Hard to believe?
Look at your manual's "Contents" listing (job-groups). Notice that job-group numbers 60, 61, 62, 63 & 64 are not in the list !
They were only distributed to dealership "service departments" & only to the multiple (7 huge binders) "Unit Volume Set" in A4 loose-leaf format. Thus totally unavailable to todays 107 owners.

BENZ PRINT agrees that you have the right to know ...
About PRICING  :  Bringing this item to potential buyers involves more than one might think.

Specialized Literature

What is it ?        Why is it needed ?       What determines pricing ?

 Originals of this list are  near impossible to find. 
 With so few of these lists around... what is to be done? Sell the  only original source materials to one buyer...? ... What about everybody else? 

There is a way:

High Quality Faithful Reproduction  - To serve the needs of a broad audience  a high quality reproduction has been introduced. It is offered at as low a pricing as possible without causing monetary loss to the seller. The construction & pricing include many factors usually unrealized generally. These include:

  Determining literature that is rare enough, while needed enough, to commit to the work  risk
  Finding,  Acquiring, Investing in the information needed to begin
  Designing a strategy to effectively & economically offer a reproduction
  Finding and acquiring media of faithful quality & composition
  Creating literature discrfiption, target audience(Model Coverage), guides, photos, etc...
  Creating draft, refining, cropping, format adjusting, ...
  Creating a web page capable of conveying the products benefit properly for  Novice M-B
           owners, expert collectors,  and technical personel , simultaneously
  Creating a web page with "photo-link thumbnails "  that will display linked photos to the
           potential buyer while staying within the eBay enviornment. A lot of .HTML work
  Fees associated with making info available such as eBay & paypal fees  

Goal with each
Specialized Literature Reproduction
 To Serve The Need of Each Buyer With The Highest Quality.  
  In A Fair Exchange. Enabling Many Persons Access to Otherwise Near
 Impossible to Find Information. 
 Information of Special Circumstance, That Has Been Out of Print for Many Decades, 
 & Is Unavailable In Any Other Medium Whatsoever,  & Likely Never Will Be. 
 To Thus Serve All, With Minimal to no Profit Involved, for Benefit of Buyer, Seller, the eBay Community &  Also Mercedes-Benz, Whom Has The Core Goal of Supporting its Classic Car Owners Ongoing Needs
I would be happy of course if you visit my eBay Store; BENZ PRINT
