I think it is interesting that people search for boxes so that their car/engine will be worth more because it is in the (?) original box even though it is an acquired box. Somehow seems not right.
My solution is easier. Most of what I buy is New, Like New, NIB or maybe NOS or whatever the best terms is to make me feel like I am the first guy to take it out of the box even though I am sure that is not really true. Since I seldom if ever sell anything it does not make a big difference. In fact the last thing I recall selling was my 50's 773 and Madison cars to pay my property taxes in 1973
