FS: Lot of Game Boy manuals

Little Samson

Hey there, I've got a bunch of Game Boy manuals for sale. Condition on these is excellent: absolutely no writing or tears. Many are minty crisp, but some have light wrinkling from normal use. A couple (Zelda and Game Boy Printer) have a creased corner. The games are:

• Amazing Penguin
• Batman
• Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World
• Double Dragon
• Double Dragon II
• The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
  
• Motorcross Maniacs
• Nintendo World Cup
  
• NFL Football
• Prince of Persia
• Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
• Tetris
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan
• Game Boy Printer
• Game Boy (two variants)
• 5 Consumer Information and Precautions Booklets
• Game Boy games and accessories brochure
• Metroid II: Return of Samus poster/games and accessories brochure

I'd like to sell these as a lot. Anyone interested?

I've had a few people ask me what I'm looking to get for these, but I have absolutely no idea what a fair price is.  Can anybody help?

Im not an interested buyer, but id probably say 1-2$ a piece, unless theyre from rare games.

Sure, I agree -- the main thing I'm trying to figure out is if there are any uncommon ones in there (e.g., Amazing Penguin, and perhaps Star Wars: ESB and Prince of Persia)...

Maybe it'd be best to hang onto 'em for a while until interest in collecting GB increases and knowledge about rarity becomes more available.  I mean, I'm not trying to make a bunch of money here (just trying to clean out the closet), but at the same time, I'd be kicking myself later if I sold the equivalent of a Bonk's Adventure manual for $1-2.  My impression is that boxes & manuals are relatively scarce for the Game Boy, since it's meant to be portable and they're not.  I think the demand's just not there right now...

Anyway, thanks for the input...

oh, hehe, I didn't even know there was a Bonk's Adventure for the Game Boy; I was trying to think of an uncommon NES manual as an example...

Just to let you know, none of those manuals are terribly rare. Rarest you have are Amazing Penguin and Prince of Persia, both of which are R4's on my list.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was wondering -- I assume those are out of 10?

Yeah, but I haven't ranked anything a 10 yet, the highest number I ranked on my list is 7. On my list 1-3 are the common rarieties 4-5 are the uncommon, and 6-7 are the omg rares. I plan to release my list at some point and see what some others say, but I don't feel that just one person can make a call on anything over a 7. I've pretty much been keeping my list to myself until I can pick up certain titles that I don't want to compete with others on. BTW, I also have GBC done too. Haven't completed my GBA rariety yet. Damn, GBA has near 1000 games which is as much as GB and GBC combined.
