Glass's Guide - where could i get one?

[Pommygranite]

I'm looking to go to the auctions to pick up a newish small diesel early october and am looking to try and take a glass's guide with me. I know these are for trade only but keen to take one to a)ensure the price is sensible and b)so i dont look to much like a retail punter thinking parkers gives a true guide.

Ebay seems to have one listed but as i'm out of the uk at the moment its a hard buy.

Any ideas?

If you do get one;
Give it to the dog or kids for a while to ensure its nicely worn and dog eared.
Make sure it fits in a well worn and stretched back jeans pocket.
Get yourself a pack of B&H and make sure you always have one lit, with the smoke getting in your eyess as you thumb through your book.
No less than 2 or 3 mobile phones
Thick black leather jacket or sheepskin coat
and optionaly tats & sovs to complete the look.

You'd be a lot better off with the Black Book from CAP.

Eliot, great call. I'll also try to walk round looking not bothered about anything.

Yes black book would also be great, but again, where can i get one from?

tried that already but all links point to a 400 quid a year trade cost. Ebay is thin on the ground of them at the moment and just wondered if available elsewhere.

some of the bigger auctions like MANHEIM put the CAP valuations into the listings so you know what an average condition car would cost retail they had a fair few 07/57 diesel plates yesterday when I took a trip to Colchester auctions most had around 25-30k miles so not bad mileage considering most cars at the auctions are on 3 year leases
