I don't know US prices, but IMHO scanning manuals, especially not books,
rather binders should be easy and cheap.
I did is by myself, and I ordered it 2 years ago, because of our relocation.
The question is reason. I discarded a lot of stuff without any scanning
just because I saw absolutely no reason to keep it.
I don't use 25+ years old software.
Bitsavers - I consider is as a museum. I really appreciate it, because I
like computer musea (plural of museum). The only exception was when I
wanted to learn more deeply about CKD disks.
BTW: I discarded all the books related to IBM RVA (STK under cover),
Tetragon 2000 (HDS Freedom), JES/328X, 3174, Infowindow II, and more.

I've got manuals much older than that. If I could get them scanned for
bitsavers then I'd have no interest in keeping the dead trees, but I don't know
anybody local willing to do it and shipping them would be expensive.

Well...
What about softcopy?
I swear I have OS/390 2.6 manuals (our first system).
I also keep z/OS 1.13 on our server. No, we don't use 1.13 anymore, but
I'm used to Bookreader and this is the last version of BOO manuals.
Yes, we've got hardcopy manuals set. It was in 1998. I decided to
discard it few years later. Hardcopy, not softcopy.
