    Default Whats the most youve paid for a loose box or booklet?

    IM just curious to know whats the most youve paid for a box, booklet or both....

    Please specify what game was it for!

    The most ive paid is very low...10 dollars for a super metroid box and booklet. Probably not a good decision

    I havent bought any expensive manuals or boxes myself, although i once bidded 50 euro for a spanish rodland manual, but was only second highest bidder.

    A friend of mine has done many not so fortunate deals in the past. I remember him once buying the scandinavian manuals for Ducktales 2 and Chip n Dale 2 (NES) for approx. US$75 each! Though they are quite rare, thats overcharged nonetheless.

    I recently paid 1% of that total (do the math) for a Star Wars 32X manual on Ebay. That is my highest amount. I don't buy that many manuals since I am not an active collector. As a gamer, I just never use them unless it is a sports game.

    I don't think I have ever bought a box just by itself so I have no figures to contribute there. I tried to buy an NFL QB Club box (also on 32X) for $3 awhile back to complete my copy. I sent in the offer and assumed the seller would take it but I was wrong. The guy demanded $8, which is more than the entire game goes for, so that deal fell through.

    suppafly: doubt it. I bought it privately, but If a Stadium Events bo (that Hounder said was going to be auctioned this month) ever shows up, it should hit more than $700.

    $50 for a certain game's back insert...and no, I won't say for what game! I was tempted to spend $30-50 on a Panzer Dragoon Saga case and manual though...

    The most on one single item was $10 for the manual to Shining Force 2 on the Genny.

    Though my largest transactions were a couple years back. I spent $500 for 1900+ boxes. Then a few months later spent $200 for a couple hundred manuals.
    We saved some guy's life. Killed some vicious murdering lichs and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.

    I've spent a few bucks on a couple of boxes for games. One that stands out is Mutant League Football (Genesis), which I bought the cart for $1 one place and spent $2 for the box and manual elsewhere.

    Well, unless you tell us which game, we'll have to assume it is Shenmue based on your screen name

    $nil! I can't stand buying games in parts... I either buy loose with no intention of upgrading or just buy complete from the beginning.

    I paid $75 for a magical chase box so I could complete it. Then I eventually sold the complete game so I could get the japanese version. Then later found out the usa version has extras in it. Now I kick myself everyday over that. One of my favorite games.
