FWIW, I only keep the box itself (the outside shell, with the printing on
it). I don't keep any of the plastic bags or plastic trays. And if I buy a
used set in an auction that says 'with box', I only assume that they have
the outer shell of the box, not the inner cardboard tray, or plastic trays.
Nor do I expect it to come with any of the collateral material (other than
the instructions).
So, to answer your question, having the plastic bags, or plastic and
cardboard trays wouldn't really increase the value of a used set to me.
I personally keep one of each catalog or flyer that come in sets, but I
don't keep multiples. They just pile up too quickly.
I'd be interested to hear what others expect.
