I would like to have something more stated for the empty box listings. I cannot
believe how many people order just the box thinking that they are getting a complete
set for pennies on the dollar.
Currently states (original box).I think adding the word ONLY or EMPTY or both
to read (original empty box ONLY)may help.

Seems like a good idea with no downside to me.

  Sure, why not. While we are at it, also get rid of the "new" condition choice
for boxes. An opened unsealed box whose contents have been removed is clearly
NOT new.

Whilst I too can't understand new vs used on boxes, the only problem I see is
the inability to easily distinguish between pristine (new) and less-so (used)
boxes. That's how I classify them.

Hi,
this thread was moved to Suggestions as it addresses something which Catalog
Admins cannot change.
