Many sellers are what I like to call "optimistic"...

So optimistic that they felt in unnecessary to post a photo of the sale item

Well, now I know I should grab any of that kind of thing I find at estate sales...especially if they're in the "free" pile.

A 1970's McMaster Carr catalog sold for around $375.00 about a week ago on ebay. Everybody at work was looking for one at their house.

I did not see a date on the ad.  The ones from the 1940's to 1960's tend to be easier to find.  Most of them go in the 20 to 40.00 range. 

I have picked up several for my tool reference book collection.  They can be useful, but sometimes it is hard to find the information you want.  Also, you almost break your arm every time you pick one up.

The only ones I have seen go high at auctions are Buffum (early one with swastika logo), Keen Kutter, and Bluegrass.
