Why would anyone pay $275.00 or $180.00 for the box? I'd rather have the locomotive, you can keep the box!

I remember when the Playstation 3 first came out people were getting scammed on Ebay left and right spending insane amounts of money for

"NEW SONY PLAYSTATION 3"

Then in size 1 fonts at the bottom of the auction

*For Playstation 3 box only. Box does not contain an actual Playstation 3

I assume that it is an old model maybe from the 1960s. If you collect antique models then the value is if it is in its original condition with its original box, unopened is even better....

The only thing that was being sold was the box, it did not include any models.

You can't even make a cool fort for the kids out of that box. Maybe he missed a decimal point?

I'd love for that guy to go on PawnStars

Rick: Hi.. What can we do for you

BoxGuy: I'd like to sell my 1960's Atomic Sub Base box.

Rick: The box is empty, do you have the item that belonged in it?

BoxGuy: No, only 200 sets were ever made. The box alone is worth a lot of money

Rick: Well... It's a box and without the original toy that belonged in it I don't see how it's possibly worth anything. What exactly are you looking to get out of it?

BoxGuy: $2500

Rick: Ummm No. I'll give you $20 and that's only because I think it will look cool sitting in the window
