Talk about crazy...a guy on fleabay is trying to sell an empty cardboard box for 365.00 plus another 25.95 for shipping how stupid are people ?
A collector will snag that up. I had an old Browning box that i sold for enough to buy a Ruger 10/22.
Probably figures if a man is willing to pay upwards of $10 for one shell to shoot at a paper target, then that same man might drop $400 on an empty shotgun box.
What makes it crazy to me I've seen several 16 gauge 870's sell for about that much in the last year, and that's for the gun which can be used, can't imagine what you could do with the box. Guess I need to stop throwing away boxes I could be rich by now.
Seems crazy to some but I remember when a man first offered me $1K for a Belgium A5 Magnum 20 and thought he was crazy. Now you can sell every one you get your hands on for $1200 to $1400. Add the right box to the right gun and the value increase could make two or three hundred dollars look small. Speaking of...anybody got a box for a Winchester 1893 Trench Gun?
That box is from the 50's the gun probably cost less than a 100 bucks at the time.
Some collector that needs one will more than likely grab it.

To each there own, I guess. ???
