I saw this on ebay today. I've never seen any where the sticker had been cut off of the box. Does anyone else do this?

Ebay box mangler.

They must think that the tag off the box has some value? Me,I would rather have the lighthouse and the box with the tag on it.

Boy!! And we were haggling and discussing whether we should get rid of the foam inserts and peanuts. That is one way to cut down your storage problem of boxes. Of course, $90.00 or there abouts is a good price to pay if you need St. Simons to complete your Southern Belle collection.

We really don't know why the ID label was cut from the box, but most of us realize the value of the piece has been reduced because of it.

Maybe that was one of those pieces that was purchased on eBay then shipped right in the HL box instead of repacking it in another larger box. That has happend more than once if you're in the habit of reading eBay feedbacks.

If someone needs that piece for their collection and they can get it for a great price without the box, then more power to them. I don't display boxes even though I have them. Get my point?
