The box, it's value - it's all perception based. Most collectors of these
kinds of items are somewhat obsessive-compulsive. They want to complete a
collection, they seek to have something the other collectors do not. The
reason anything has value is because someone out there wants it or it would
be worthless otherwise. I don't mean that like it's a bad thing, merely that
it's a reality.

Besides - that box looked like it was in pretty rough shape.
