trading in games

Does anyone know if you trade in a game without the manual does it take anything off the price? Im asking because I bought Fifa 10 the day it came out but found out later that day I won a copy of it. The copy i won is a promotional copy and it says on the front not for resale and has no manual so I cant trade that one in.

Id like to keep the manual but im wondering will it affect my trade in price?

Shouldn't think so. Usually games come with in game tutorials these days. Who reads a manual anymore?

I don't think it should affect your trade in value at all. As long as the game is in working order then that's all that should matter.

Yeah it does affect the price. But luckily not many shops will take the money off.

You might get more for it selling it yourself through adverts or eBay.

Cheers for the replies. Ill keep the manual close at hand if its costing me alot of the trade in price. Next question is anyone know what shop is best to trade it in? Im not near any so cant check myself.

30 euro in gamestop with that trade in offer they do on new games?

€30 is the best you'll get I'd say. Try and sell it on Adverts.
