The price of the empty box, as we all know, sold due supply, demand and condition. Many boxes are hard to come by. We tore them open and parents threw the boxes in the trash. There are probably less than 5 of these boxes -in all- including collections and somewhere in public hands. Supply then is non-existent, this may have been the only one known. The demand was at least two who wanted it. The box's condition is also a consideration. True collectors have the money to amass their collections and the cost, although high for enthusiasts, is not a concern for them. He was probably buying other stuff the next auction.
