[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 479445, member: 7379"] Years ago, Jim Stevenson told me a sorry tale about a very rare and valuable mint vintage box he was sent from America. I can't remember exactly what he said it was, but apparently it came flat packed and you assembled it yourself (and btw, if anyone can work out what it might be, I'd love to know!). For some reason, rather than sending it flat and unassembled, the seller decided to assemble it and then sent it as an empty box inside a larger mailing box. Her Majesty's Customs then got their sausage-fingered mitts on it and opened the outer box, saw another box inside, and then ripped that one open too to find nothing inside. It never even occurred to them (or if it did, they didn't give a ****) that the box itself might be the contents and be valuable. So when Jim finally received his previously mint box, it was badly torn :evil: [/QUOTE]
