This site or service or whatever you wish to call it, was in no way born of some grandiose plan. In fact, it had it's beginnings while I was prowling the stores of a large electronics chain that was going out of business. I noticed in some of them, large boxes of owner manuals that I found out were destined for the landfill. Having been one who was always seemingly looking for a manual for one thing or another that I picked up, I just couldn't stand the thought....so I asked if I could have them. Wrong question to ask of a company who is going out of business. Even though they were going to throw them out, I could only take them if I paid for them but I could not have them.
Now a normal person might of asked themselves as they were handing over their money for boxes of random owner manuals just why they would do such a thing and just what did they think they would do with them. I didn't ask myself that, although I should have, but instead made sure I didn't let one manual knowingly get thrown out of any of their stores.
Once the dust settled, I would walk past my many boxes containing thousands of random manuals and wondered what I was thinking, why didn't I ask myself that important question. But now the question was mute and I had a LOT of manuals so I had to come up with a solution. I figured I wasn't (hopefully) the only person who was looking for a missing or lost manual so I knew I had to find YOU.
I began a very long process of inventorying all of the manuals and eventually published this web page. It surely is not a profitable venture, the costs of the mailing materials, labels, ink, web costs, storage containers and the manuals themselves may never be fully recovered. But I am finding that the manuals are wanted and those who get them are probably getting the only copy of that particular manual available anywhere. And they are very grateful. I guess that means this is more of a public service or a garage sale but as one who has searched for manuals himself, I know you probably can't believe your luck if you get lucky and find the manual you need here.
Happy Hunting, Mark
Thank you for your manual inquiry.
