This is a secondary concern, also having to do with Games being listed under
Gear.

In the case of G3853, there are a number of sellers trying to sell the empty
box. But Gear does not allow for listing Original Boxes, only Instructions. Therefore,
they are listing them under the primary set listing.

Can anything be done about this shortcoming in Gear ? I know that in Sets, it
is variable if a Set has Instructions or not. The same may apply within Gear
for Boxes.
