*UPDATE*: Everything is either sold or pending except the Dragon Warrior III map. PM if you want it.
First, a little story: I meander into the flea market and pass by the perpetually high-priced videogame vendor that I always ignore. This time however, the old East Indian lady that’s running it has a huge box of NES manuals on the floor and appears to be dumping them all in a garbage bag destined for the trash. I ask her what she’s doing, she says “throwing these out”. I ask how much she wants for all of them, and she says “Five bucks”! But first she wants to go through it and see if there’s anything worth keeping. So I sit there for 5 minutes watching her sort by popularity. A Super Mario Bros manual goes in her keeper pile, a Dragon Warrior IV map goes in her huge garbage pile, lather, rinse, repeat.
So she finally finishes and I give her a crisp five dollar bill and she hands me this 10lb bag of mostly NES manuals. She only held back about 20 manuals from me, all of which were dirt common. If I had arrived a few minutes later, the stuff below (plus the hundreds of manuals that I’m keeping) would now be decomposing in your friendly neighbourhood dump. Here’s what is for sale and what’s for free:
The following NES manuals are $0.50 each plus shipping. Shipping of a single manual can probably go as standard letter mail rate (85 cents to the US, 50 cents to Canada) and it goes up from there. All are complete (no missing pages) and most are in good to great condition, but a couple have rental stickers or a few wrinkles/dog ears on them.ALL SOLD or PENDING

I also have the Dragon Warrior III map available and it is in mint condition, BUT it has been laminated by a video store. It is completely covered in clear packing tape and there are a couple of rental store stickers on it. It’s not wrinkled and the store did a pretty good “laminating” job. I’ll take $5 shipped if anyone wants it.
Okay, onto the stuff that is free (plus shipping).
