There are two markets for boxes -
1. Pristine boxes for collectors, to go with their precious objects.
Collectors have a need for 'completion', gathering all the bits.
2. People who want to sell a clean used item as 'new' or 'mint, in
box' or, at the very least, enhance the story that the item was owned
by a fastidious individual. Ethically suspect.
Leica boxes often have the serial number handwritten on them so then
you would have to know how to remove the ink and pen impression and
fake a new one. Tsk.
