You can make more $$$ than selling it as a whole set, and they move faster on their own. lol this is absolutely not common practice. wtf. ethereal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie Jones Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Seen this a couple of times. I wouldn't say COMMON practice but it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boaty McBoatface Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It definitely happens, that’s how I found the empty box to the blink-182 box set at my local store for free! Took it and put my existing blink collection in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone probably traded in a fragmented box set (grave included) and some severely undertrained employee marked it at the fractured price of ~$200, which was the retail price of the box. either way, no complaints.
