You should do very well with a boxed specimen. There is great value in original boxes, packing and instructions as those most times are very tough to come by as more was tossed then what came in the boxes. I will keep older computer boxes and such that I end up with. I will try and not damage them as I use them for storage of interesting small items such as toys and such.



The reason that I'm posting on this thread is that when I read about the foam packing it reminded me of some old Star Trek trivia. When the show first started they had a very tight budget and the prop guys would scrounge for materials to build sets and props with. I read that the studio had received a bunch of the new IBM Selectric typewriters and the dumpsters were full of the clam shell foam packing so they took them and made a set wall out of them. I know a lot of interesting trivia about many things that are just interesting curiosities.
