A used and partially damaged Colt box, bid up to $27, plus $11 shipping, with over 4 days left to go. An empty, damaged box. $38 and counting.
What am I missing here?
Wow…that is amazing. I have some used boxes at the house. I guess I should get to listing them on ebay. Think of all the money I could be making from these idiots…
Original boxs always make your gun worth more.

For these bulletproof PMAG bags,
I will be taking bids starting at…
1 meeelion dollars !!!
Is that an actual Colt box or is it subcontracted?
Everytime I ever put up a for sale ad for any Arsenal, Inc. AK, the single most asked question from prospective buyers was “do you have the original box?”
Not “how does it run”, “how accurate is it” or anything like that - some guys are all hung up on pieces of cardboard.
Even the original box idea is useless here, as the box is marked Colt and has the previous weapons serial number on the side.
One of the most bizarre listings I have ever seen there. I wouldn’t pay $0.02 for the thing.
Ive never understood the concern about having a box either
Mine get thrown away pretty quick, come to think of it the ONLY box I have is the hard case my Bushmaster came in!
People fancy themselves “firearms collectors”. They know that if they hold that COLT carbine and COLT box for 20 years, it will be worth $10,000 because it has the box, accessories and mint carbine.
There is some truth to it, but only if you hold it for 20+ years, and keep it perfect – or it was rare to begin with.
Most of the real collectors kept their boxes to begin with though, as they are likely in the safe with the gun. :eek:
Check this one out, an empty box of “shells” that sold for $74.00
:o

I couldnt fit half what I have into my safe if I did that…
It is for the same reason people buy Colt, Bushmaster, or Kimber. If it is a name brand then it must be good.
I have a couple guns including a 70 series Colt Gold Cup that I have the original box for it but I wouldn’t care if it were an AR-15 or hunting rifle.
It must be a high capacity Pre-Ban box.
Boy do I feel dumb. All this time I have just tossed them in the trash.
Meh - those guys are just bidding based on the Colt name. An LMT box is just as good if you don’t need the “hype”.
Wait… You have Arsenal AK’s for sale??? Please hit me up next time. I’m in the market.
As long as you don’t “need” the original box…
:eek:
I have a stack of 6520 and 6920 boxes in undamaged condition. Apparently, I should get while the gettin’s good.
WOW! That Colt box in the original post is up to 60.99 right now with 3 days to go!
“The Box” is now up to $76.99 plus the the $11 shipping. This is without a doubt one of the most illogical things I have ever witnessed. In a recession, no less.
This excess of stupidity makes Obama being elected seem brilliant. I am losing faith in humanity. If it tops $100, we are doomed.
Should I have kept all of my boxes? No they are not Colt, but somebody had some Nornico I think AK box in good condition for sale on gunbroker for an ungodly amount of money. JUST A BOX! Oh well boxes take up to much space.
76.00 bucks now lol im digging in the box closet.
