| | | | | (...) That sounds pretty high to me, but you never know. Probably a good idea at that price to find out whether it's mint-in-box with mint-box, or just mint-in-box. If you don't want the box, and the box is mint, you could probably resell the box (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | | | | (...) Oh, I did not know there was this kind of distinction. It's sealed, new, as if you could buy it off the shelf today. It is in the highest state of newness-- what would, technically speaking, this be called? -John (25 years ago, 13-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

However, I have had many auctions on eBay using that term where people emailed me asking what it meant, or after they had received the (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

Sets off the shelves -- especially sets with large boxes -- often have nicks and scrapes in them. It might also (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

| | | | | | | | (...) As you say, it's darn near impossible to find pristine mint in boxes this large. Unless a miracle occurs this is the closest to pristine mint you're gonna find for this set. Period. I'm pretty happy with the box condition on mine, and mine (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

If the box is really worth THAT much of the cost, it's probably a good idea to go over the box with a fine toothed... err, magnifying glass and enumerate any and all scratchesm creases, tears, rips, etc for location and size. You don't want to (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
