>Hypothetically speaking, what would stop me from buying one, cutting the pages, putting them in a scanner, printing out my own, and selling them for a tenth the price on ebay while pretending that they're originals?
Absolutely nothing. If you want to go all the way then they also sell counterfeit game carts on ebay too. All you need is to print off the boxes and manuals and get a shrink wrapper and you could sell complete new in box fake copies.
