Did you check out the NIB auction lately?

$14,334.09 was the final auction value. Do you believe that?? I paid much less that 1/3 of that and have a very pin. Wonder what I would get if I restore it and put it on Ebay?  

I would think a lot if you were willing to take it personally south within say a 500 mile radius. If you try to sell it here I think you wouldn't have nearly the same success. The U.S. buyers will pay more but are very reluctant to deal cross border. If you posted you were willing to take it personally to a U.S. shipper then that also might work.

I think unless you have a box and are willing to lie and sell it "as nib", you'll get the normal ~ 4k that they usually go for.

For a gold? I don't think so. If it's a really decent gold you are going to get more than 4k.

When my kids were two or three years old they used to like to play with the box their toys came in. WTF good is the box other than to prove it's new. If it's really nice, forget about the bloody box. The box ain't worth no 7g's to me.
