What would you pay for these two binders?

Just be aware that the patterns may/probably are NOT ACCURATE. I dealt with Oxmoor House books in the mid 1970s as a new quilter. Had some of their books and one pattern I recall had a patch ½-inch off. Try to fit a 3-inch square to a 2½-inch triangle and you're sure you're going nuts. That's when I learned to premeasure templates. Then finding out one company's inch is not another company's inch is another story. These are only two reasons I'm such a stickler about being accurate. $300 sounds like a lot to me for buying something that you have to redraw, however, to a collector of old patterns, this may not matter.

He is firm on the $300, too.
Just thought I would post so if anyone has a set of these binders...

These volumes look just like the ones I inherited from my mother. It has the templates to cut the quilt pieces but it is pre rotary cutting era and doesn't give instructions for rotary cutting all the quilt pieces like we are used to now. This makes the patterns useless other than to look at for me. Of course I would never get rid of the book because my mother compiled it and did several of the patterns so it's priceless to me in that way but not useful as I would not go back to cutting out quilt blocks like this.
