Boxes are worth?

Post by mackace23 »

Hello

I was wondering if someone could help me. I recently dug up all my old G1 TF's from when I was a youngster and many of them still have the boxes with them intact. I was wondering what type of price increase happens when you have a box? I know condition obviously takes a part in the price. But in general what kind of price increase are you looking at? 10%? 20%? 50%?
If pictures are required I'm sure I could snap a few

Thanks for the help.

A box can sometimes double the price, if both box and figure are in good nick and complete.

Escpecially if the box has its blister/polystyrine insert and nothing cut out of it.

The cardboard itself increases value, but not up to double. What's very rare is the bubble insert which holds the figure in place.
