Weirdness: Own The Manual To ClayFighter Sculptor's Cut? You Could Be Sitting On A Grand

I hope my printer can make a good copy of the manual.

Ugh only an idiot would pay that for a manual.

@DeathCode: Idiot...collector...what's the diff?

Seriously though, this is nuts. I like manuals and all, but not THAT much. Of course, I appreciate games for functionality, not rarity. The proudest games in my collection are...if you'll forgive the pun...rarely rare at all...except for EarthBound, and even THAT is easy to come by if you're willing to pay out the butt (and why would you with the VC release upcoming?). I'm just weird that way.

I'd like to say it's a waste of money, but if I had a lot of money, I'd probably spend it on something that someone else will see as wasting. So, eh.

While it may be alot of money and it still is. This collector could have the game (in mint condition) and a excellent original box. So if he added the manual to the game he 'could' make a alot more money if he sold the game with the box and manual together.

Things have been stirred up locally because we have at a local retro shop a €500 mint complete copy of "Final Fight 3" PAL for SNES. Just wait till they get a look at this...

A new Clayfighter game is long over due!!!

the game has not aged well, the controls are horrible along with just about everything else. but back in the day this was fun?

I remember this game. I still have the regular version sitting with the rest of my 64 collection. I wasn't really into fighting games (besides Smash Bros if that counts) but this was fun to pick up from time to time for me. I actually rented this cut version too...i so wish I would have not returned it now... haha.

Am I the only one who's known about this game from watching Game Grumps?

that is so silly. there is NO WAY that is going for 1 grand. I did have to look and it looks like the bids are just inflated by the same user 3 times. Anyway I guess is you can make 1000 off manuals, I'm doing it wrong. off topic, but can we get marble madness and clay fighter to 3ds?

I remember renting Clayfighter when I was a kid. Too bad I didn't keep the manual!

I want the new clay fighter to come out, but as of right now it is TBA and I think it may never come out.

Collectors aren't idiots, don't be ignorant, when you buy something rare now, selling it in the future is going to go for even way more, and having a complete set of something doesn't make you an idiot, it's just something people like to have, why do you get to judge.

@yoshisaredragon Collecting is idiotic at some point, I like video games and all and I have an earthbound snes copy because I simply love that game but I'm not getting it in mint because it costs like a freaking car at this point. Just see the bid on the manual: $ 1,023; good freaking god!, with that amount of cash I could buy a console, get a lot of games, go out with my wife to see a movie, then a fancy restaurant, buy clothes, etc. and I will still have some cash to buy whatever I want, not just a measly manual. I'm not a kid anymore to just spend that kind of cash in fanboy desires.

@FOURSIDE_BOY s

some people have more disposable income, and they just so happen to love collecting, not just gaming, COLLECTING, what they like is to have things complete, owning a rare game or a obscure game doesn't make you a collector, unless they spend over 100,000, nobody has the right to judge dude

Oh Sh*t. I have this game. o.O

How much would I get for it i wonder..

UGH, I wish I still had this game. My parents were super-strict and made me sell it because one of the characters said "you suck" over and over when you punched him. I don't remember if I had the manual to it, but even still I wouldn't sell it. Well, maybe for over $1000 I would

I wish I had over a grand to throw around like that. :/

@ yoshisaredragon: Please do not ignore the all-important emoticon following my statement, wherein a wink indicates tongue-in-cheek humor. True, I see no draw for that kind of collection drive, and I am sometimes negatively impacted by it when all I want to do is get my hands on a game to PLAY it, but I know there can be upsides to it...quite crafty and profitable ones at that.

I once sold a copy of "Panzer Dragoon Saga" for Sega Saturn on eBay for about $200. I wish I had held onto it because I'm sure it would only appreciate in value. A manual, though? You'd have to be a pretty hardcore collector to go for something like that.

i actually did know that game was a blockbuster exclusive lol.
and @SilentHunter382 i know youre joking but id send that back to you so fast youd get it back before you mailed it to me

I own this..... hmmm.... You guys think I should put it up?

@WhiteTrashGuy and @SpudMasher
Do you have the "Sculptor's Cut" version? If you do it is worth about $200, if not, the game is worth $10.

Bad Mr. Frosty is still one of my favorite SNES characters.

Right now, I'm still wondering who the f**k thought it was a brilliant idea to make a store-exclusive, rental only game.

Someone who was offered a lot of money by the (then) profitable Blockbuster corp.

Picking up my mint condition virtual boy for £300 now looks like a massive bargain!

@rayword45

ClayFighter TE for the SNES made sense because it was a game made for a Blockbuster tournament, but not this game (from what I can remember).

I almost got this back then, but I liked the Tournament Edition for SNES much better. I still have that one (and EarthBound) with the box and instructions, though...
