I'm not sure this is the correct place to put this but I'll go ahead anyway. There is a whole topic concerning the value of the box. Here are some numbers to back up the reality of selling with the box. As I'm sure that some of you noticed in the last day there was 2 auctions on ebay ending for #142 Holland. One had a box the other didn't.

#2137 no box sold for 106.00
#3792 with box sold for 175.00 (which is exactly the ebay average I have for this piece over the last 6 months)

Neither piece is an exceptionally low number and both were listed in excellent condition. In this instance the box was worth 69 dollars. There are a lot of LE's you can buy for that.
