I have been offering Bentley manuals to the List for $62.95 for about a
year now (plus $5.50 postage), still the lowest price going.  Also, I have
original replacement roof vents for $119.95 each with List Member discount.
 Admittedly a pretty pricy piece of plastic (say that three times fast :-),
but there is no aftermarket replacement that matches the dimensions, and at
least it beats $240...
