What to do with Suikoden II Case & Instructions?

[SEGA_Queen]

I need some advice.

I've already mentioned this "find" in the Dec. 2008 Finds thread. But for those who haven't read it yet, here's a brief summary: I found Suikoden II in a thrift store yesterday. However, when I opened the case I discovered that someone had stolen the game disc. The cashier gave me the case & manual for free, but now I'm wondering what to do with them.

I figure I can either:

A) Hold on to them and hope, by some miracle, that I come across a disc only copy some day.

B) Sell or trade them for something.

Does anybody know whether the case & manual are worth anything on their own?

Thanks!

I'd keep it...you just never know. You could run across a loose copy on ebay for a good price. It doesn't take up much room, its not hurting anybody so I'd keep it.

for a game that sells for as much as Suikoden II does, the case and manual would definitely be worth something. I'd guess on the order of $20-30.

i've seen the disk sold by itself several times, just hold onto it. You never know what you'll come across down the road, also check the buy/sell forums as theres proably someone out there who's either looking for the case/manual or is selling a disk only copy,.

I would also keep it and just snag a disc-only later on down the line. If you need money, though, I would guess you could get ~$20 each for the manual and disc. Definitely sell them separately to get top dollar.

Also, when I read your post in the finds thread I felt so bad for you. I can only imagine how crushed I would be to have that happen to me. I get really mad when I come across games without discs that I don't even want!

The thing that really sucks is that you know someone just stole it because he saw it was a game. He had no idea what it was, he just thought "Playstation, I can probably sell that". I see it all the time at my local Goodwill.

Keep them.

You can fetch the CD only for much less than in combo.
