When it comes to Ebay, if I don't feel comfortable paying the asking price for an auction (either BIN or current bid), then I don't buy. No matter how much I want or need the item.

That's been going on with Transformers for years now. Some people, myself included, like to keep the cardbacks and instructions as part of the "toy". I also cut out the backs of the boxed TFs (if there's a bio or tech specs on it). But it's only for the TFs I buy off the shelf. I'll gladly accept those items for vintage toys if it's part of the auction/trade for the actual toy, but I'm not about to bid on an auction for just a piece of cardboard.

The box for a G1 Fort Max goes for about $100 in good condition. $150 if it has the [undamaged] Styrofoam insert too. Nothing else, mind you. This is just for the packaging.
