| Hey Bricklink community
I am considering opening a store to sell my unwanted sets I just don't have
room for.
My question is, what additional value does having the box add to the sale price,
and does it matter to a buyer if it has been flattened? Most of the boxes are
from purchases in the last 5 years.
Appreciate any comments.

| Hello,
Personally I would say most to have a $5-$10 extra, but if it is an expensive,
rare, or vintage set, the box may include an extra $50. That is my experience
on bricklink. Also, look at the listings for sale and see if any of them have
boxes, and if you find one, list it around the same price. I am a collector who
has boxes for every single (OK, i'm missing 1 or 2) Lego set I own.
Hope this helps!

It makes somewhere between very little difference and significant difference
depending on the set. For common used sets, the price between a boxed used and
unboxed used can be virtually nil. Whereas for a set that is easily put together
from existing parts, the box might be very valuable if the set was limited in
numbers.

Thanks for the responses, based on your advice I might check the market to see
the relative values closer to selling.
