I sold a PAL FS 2 with manual for only 60 euro not too long ago. Title: Re: Freakin' huge NES manual lot score! Post by: Nintendonut1983 on May 18, 2006, 06:39:37 PM for his sake its the NTSC
Title: Re: Freakin' huge NES manual lot score! Post by: Rejinx on May 18, 2006, 09:03:57 PM Hmmm :-/...... I don't know if a could trade games for paper. Just not my style of collecting. But, I guess if you could sell them for more money and then buy more games, I guess it would be a good deal. So congats :king:

All the manuals are PAL-B/SCN except for those marked with (NTSC/USA) or (ESP) or (NOE) or (FRA) For you americans; ESP=Spanish, NOE=German, FRA=French - and they're PAL-B too. SWE/SWE are also PAL-B/SCN but with Swedish screentext. Quote from: Speedy_NES VERY nice lot of manuals man!  Did they originate from a video rental place or something? They're from Bergsala's storage in Norway (Bergsala are the ones who imports Nintendo to Scandinava) - they had a big clean-up a couple a weeks ago and some kid who works there picked them up and sold them on the Norwegian Nintendo forum. Originally there were 578 manuals, but only 163 for the NES. At first, I thought I could buy them for $0.30 each, 'cause that was sort of a deal, but more people got interested (wonder why??) so the kid got greedy and made an auction. I bidded up to about $850 for all the manuals, but pulled out since I only wanted those for the NES. But the guy who bought them let me trade them for some loose games...???

Nice story to go with it - always good when there's a happy ending! ;) Does Bergsala have any more storage locations? Might be worthwhile for you to check up on other possible locations and inquire about new-old-stock. You never know what you may find ;) Title: Re: Freakin' huge NES manual lot score!

Here's some pics from Bergsala in Sweden from a Swedish guy's site: http://nes.kreese.com/bergsala.php Title: Re: Freakin' huge NES manual lot score!
