I've been continuing in my push to get rid of as much of my unwanted possessions as possible that I mentioned back in December. Going through my bookshelf, I found some old N64 player's guides (Prima's Guides, etc.).
Out of curiosity, I checked their value on Amazon. Some of them, as I expected, were valued at $0.01 but to my surprise, most were in the $15-$20 range. Two cost more than $50 each.
Like textbooks and video games, the market isn't predictable. If you can get them for $0.10 each and they end up worthless, you can just sell them at your own garage sale or try to Craigslist them. This is yet another class of items for which a smartphone is a very useful tool -- just use it to check the book's value on Amazon before you commit to purchasing it.
It my browsing of player's guides on Amazon, I have noticed a correlation: valuable games tend to have valuable player's guides. The original Paper Mario is one example of a game that fits this trend.
