Andy,

if you drew those images in the manual it's intellectual property and you can get the ***** to drop those auctions and even ban the seller.

further more, when you sell the manual require some kind of check box during the check out process, like any electronic transaction, "I here by agree not to copy or resell this..." makes it easier to prevent public re-sale in the future

this reminds me, I need to order one, looks like it will come in handy soon!

I didn't redraw all the diagrams in the Workshop Manual, although over time I would like to, for a "second edition" maybe! It's a massive undertaking though, really on par with the translation itself! If you have a look on our Facebook page, you will see a screenshot of the MC16E engine cutaway I drew in Illustrator. It's just one example of the time and effort I put into the site. Anyone who knows anything about illustration, engineering drawing, or CAD will understand the time taken to produce just that one image!

Unfortunately, intellectual property seems to mean nothing on the web, and some people will also argue that the workshop manual is Honda's property, and that we shouldn't even be selling an English version. I would dearly love Honda's blessings to reproduce the manuals, as I do with Haynes to reproduce some of their manuals content (and anyone else's that you see on the site!), but I fear they wouldn't be so accommodating, so we try and remain under the radar.

As for eΒay being any kind of help... you can forget that!
