Will,
Not sure about $199 but there are two recent threads mentioning that all of the big 3 have the manuals in stock for something like $219, plus shipping of course. Maybe the $199 was a special for Sharks in the Mountains which would have been a great deal since you'd also save shipping these heavy books.

The DVD has a pretty low-resolution copy of Projekt 928 in English on it. I was disappointed that he had gone to the trouble of scanning the book and not done so at high resolution.
AND
The rest of the content is as far as I can see Jim Morehouse's work.

Current normal prices reported for the Genuine Porsche Factory Workshop Manuals:
928 International - $229
Devek - $219
928 Specialists - $215
Close enough that the shipping cost and your relationship with the vendor are probably more important than the difference...
A reminder - we all feel that this may well be the last time that the manuals are offered by Porsche, and when they are gone - they are gone for good!

I bought the DVD on Ebay last week and today I received this email from Ebay (UK).
"The following listing:

was removed because the intellectual property rights owner notified
eBay that the listing potentially infringes ist copyright, trademark or
other rights. Due to this claim, and the fact that the feedback system is
no longer available, we strongly urge you not to complete this
transaction.

I got mine too from this guy. Works good and the book, project 928 is scanned well enough so I could see everything. Great videos, espeically the holbert car run! Its the encyclopedia of all 928 information, but no longer legal on ebay.

There is a simple solution. Jim should distribute copies of the ripped-off copies of the material that the eBayer ripped off. 
Hopefully we are nearly to the point of market saturation...

Guys,
Its been, gone & returned a few times on ebay since the original postings....
I suspect it will be back again. I got a copy - lots of content - good enough - not as good as some of Jim's stuff. yet another place to go .... At least I got to read Project 928 - at the current rate I won't be owning a hard copy any time soon...
