Woman contacted me from Craigslist stating that she had a group of games and SNES systems to sell. She sent me a list or what she she and some pictures too. I found that it was mostly common games, but it was definitely worth the $50 for the lot. In the picture there was a large stack of instructions too that she was going to throw in, but most of them didn't go to any games included. Once I got the bundle home, I looked through each manual and I was shocked at what was in there. Where were these games!?

I was glad to have the manuals, but if these games had been included it would have been one of the best scores I've ever landed. I texted her after just double-checking that the other games weren't around and she confirmed with her son that they were all stolen some time ago.  

Oh well. Still a nice haul though.  

Just thinking of what could have been...

That would've been exciting to get all of the manuals.

I'm usually not into selling. Trades maybe.

YESSSS!!! Bought a sega lot one time (Games were decent, nothing too crazy) came with a buttload of SNES RPG manuals that made me question where the hell those games were!
