I have a bunch of old Hobie stuff and I was wondering if anyone knew if any of it is worth anything. I have a bunch of old Hobie 16 Brochures, with all the different options trims, colors etc from the late 70's I think 1978 to be exact, very old Hobie cat sailing books that I also believe are from the 70's, as well as some old racing regulation rule book, performance manuals for the 16, all the original receipts, warranties from a Hobie 16 bought in 1978, and a lot of other old misc paper work. I also have a bunch of unopened spare parts from 1978, including a mast step, some misc. clevis pins, and a contraption to help guide the sail into its track when raising. There all unopened in great shape, some still have the price tags on ranging from around $1 to $11. I also have an old wooden Hobie sign, Its says Hobie Sportswear, a way of life, and has a pic of a hobie cat, and an old Hobie boat of the year banner from 1988. (picture attached) I also have one of those Dumas Hobie 14 model kit, but I've seen those on eBay for $30 or so..

I think its all some pretty cool stuff, and I'm just not sure what its worth, I know the parts have to be worth some money, new just as they were in the 70's, as for the sign/banner I have never seen any others like it. Let me know what you all think. Thanks.

Note Not sure if I attached the pics right, I'm not sure how to do that.

Refer to the FAQs on how to post photos.

Most of what you have has only sentimental value.
The only thing that might be worth some $ is the banner.
