Old video games with or without manuals
Jun 26, 2012 01:31 PM

Why are some games more expensive with manuals? Some sellers seem to think that having a game complete with manual is something extra therefore more expensive. When you buy retail you do not have the option to buy just the disc to save a few bucks. So, there is one game...disc only for 5.00. Then below it is the same game for 9.00 with manual like it's something extra.

Because it is something extra.

 

A)  Game only.

 

B) Game PLUS manual.

 

How is this confusing? :)

...it is something extra!   duh

 

chances are the game with a manual is going to be in better condition than the one without, therefore it would be worth more money,

 

I'm gonna warn you now, dont always buy the cheapest game you can find here. more often than not you will be disappointed.

Exactly, even if the description says with case or manual, chances are the game is pretty beat up, I know because I've done this.. xD
