I've never seen this for a cycling item, but it's more common for electronics and tech products where people get more for their second hand items if they are in an origunal box.

With camera gear the grades are often "good", "excellent", "mint" and "boxed" - suggesting that a box trumps everything else.

I heard a story years ago that someone fell for and bought an X-Box Box.

That looks more like an x-box ex-box to me. Good for making eggs boxes.

Some years ago I heard there was a raffle in a bar in the US where a lady was suing them because she had won the draw for a Toyota.

she was a bit cross that she got this....



as I looked for an image, news articles came up about it from 2002, including a youtube vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF-pG8uvZEY
