I received the email and retracted my bid. I had bid on this prior to
realizing it was only boxes, no Lego. When I noticed that it was only
boxes, I was glad to see that I had already been outbid. By the time I got
the email, though, I was again the high bidder, due to the other guy
withdrawing his bid. I notice that the current high bidder is from Japan.
I also know I have dealt with him before and his translation program (or his
English, although I am almost sure he uses a program) is terrible. I am not
100% sure he knows the auction is for boxes only. If someone could tell him
in his own tongue about this auction, I think he may want to retract his
bid, too. I know Scott wasn't trying to be deceitful in any way (or I trust
him enough not to believe he was being deceitful) but with eBay and the
chance of anyone in the world bidding, I think it is very important to be
100% clear as possible. I still laugh when I think about a man in the
Netherlands who was absolutely amazed by a couple early 80s sealed sets I
sold him (although, in the description, I tried to make it abundantly clear
the sets were sealed, he didn't know what that meant, I guess). At any
rate, I am glad Scott emailed me, and hopefully no one else will be confused
by that auction.

Have fun!
