There are all sorts of losers on Ebay. Would you believe that a seller would log on different friends accounts and sell the manual, cd, and case of Dragon Force SEPERATELY? I would. That happens a lot with the rarer crap. Ebay should make some sort of rule, but I dont know how effective or constraining it would be on this sort of thing.
Somehow I doubt Ebay could force sellers to sell items as "complete." I still got my original manuals for my NES, SNES, 3DO, Virtual Boy.... I could be rollin in cash.
Considering I've bought the operating manual of an Amiga 500 (not to mention the Amiga Basic handbook), even 'to I don't have the system, I really don't see this as stupid. A lot of people are generally interested on operating manuals for ancient systems, so are completionists or people lacking them (I'd snatch a Saturn manual now, for instance). Just for the record, I remember someone selling a warranty card a few months ago on UK eBay.
