increased by a good 40% solely because of the box, even in bad shape.
If you have the boxes of sets 6335, 1496 and 1497, I will buy them from you
immediately!
Boxes are cool in that they make your set truly *complete*. And they often
feature cool photos/images of the set not seen in the instructions or
catalogs, and of course they often depict alternate models not seen in the
instruction booklet either.
Plus, they allow you to store your bricks ;-P
