VERY nice lot of manuals man!  Did they originate from a video rental place or something?  

[NationalGameDepot]

Great find, I am very jealous.  I need tons of manuals for my stuff.

I assume it is the PAL manual, though, which as far as I'm concerned is still more rare than the NTSC one, but it doesn't fetch as much money.  I sold a PAL FS 2 with manual for only 60 euro not too long ago.  

[Nintendonut1983]

for his sake its the NTSC

[Rejinx]

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  

[Sauza12]

 

Nice haul man!

[Pop Culture Portal]

Nice haul man!

I'll second that emotion.  Very nice!

[snes_collector]

Aesome, I've only had 1 manual find in all my collection, and if was nothing like this. Very nice!

[Xevious]

Thanks guys!

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.

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
