In the past couple years I have picked up a few pieces off e-bay without boxs at a great price and then turn around and sell my same piece with the box at a higher price reducing my invested money, since I don't plan to sell off my collection I would love to replace many of my high $$$ pieces with pieces without boxs at a discounted price. I don't have the room to display my whole collection right now, but no one has ever asked to see my boxs that went with them.
