How much are rare manuals worth? Like manuals for Rodland, Mr. Gimmick, Uforia, Flintstones 2 etc. I havnt searched ebay for manuals before, but i came across some and was wondering if anyone know if these are popular and go for alot of money.

I'd wager you could defenitely get a decent sum for them and I'm sure many people would be interested. If you can aquire them go for it! Are euro manuals the same as NTSC manuals? I've been wondering if a PAL stadium events would be useful for the box and manual to go with my loose cart.

I think they are the same. But the numbers on the manual aint the same.
For example you have a NES game with NES-XX-USA, the box is NES-XX-USA.
If you buy a manual, lets say from skandinavia, it will say NES-XX-SCN.

So if your realy picky, you will rather try to find the USA manual, because then u have all in NES-XX-USA :)

I'd pay $15 for a perfect Gimmick manual.

I see a mint manual for mr. gimmick. Its up to over $30 now. Alot if you ask me, but is it worth it?

Considering the fact taht a complete one has reached $300, I'd say $30 ain't half bad.

I will check my complete PAL stadium events tonight and let you know.


I would bet that a NTSC Flintstones 2 or Bonk's Adventure manual would fetch anywhere from 25 - ???? possibly around 70+ for the Flintstones @_@
(whats sad is that I would pay it :( )

There very well may be ALOT of differnces between pal/nstc manuals.
Hell, I have canadian manuals that are A LOT differnt from their us conterparts.
Add that to the dif box art (and presumably dif manual front art).

Still any manuals is better than no manual!

if I remember correctly, a US stadium events manual catches quite a sum on ebay.

I rememeber that fs2 with manual a while back. Went for like $202 or essentially $130 for the manual @_@

of course one auction on ebay does not reflect the manual's worth... but id imagine a manual only auction to hit at least $100
