These catalogs are coveted by collectors and typically fetch prices upwards of $80 for the 1970s editions. The photographs are beautiful, even for the products.
The collectors want more than the catalogs, and collect the vintage camping gear from the 1960s and 1970s as well.
Popular brands, aside from The North Face, are Kelty, Sierra Designs, Mountain.
This catalog is up for auction, finishing on Wednesday.
Epilogue
These were selling for up to $150 on Ebay, and when I got an offer for $80, I turned it down.
I ended up selling it for a bit less. I forget how much, but I think it was around $50.
Why did this happen?
I think it's because it's a thin market, with few buyers, and patient buyers. Prices are all over the place, from the $20 range up to the $150 range.
I didn't understand the market, and should have gone with the $80 offer, obviously. Selling at middle of the prices is fine.
