<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 10291992, member: 4654"]You would think so but no fancy room just stuffed into drawers, cupboards, ect. It would seem I'm some fastidious knowledgeable box collector but I'm not really, many of my boxes are the same type and were collected when they weren't so collectable. Take the apothecary box above for an example, I paid £90 and sold 1 bottle from inside for £88, most of my collection has been acquired for very little, normally in pieces and I've had to restore them. I have bought boxes in good condition but these weren't spotted in auction and I've managed to buy them for far less than their going rate. </p><p>It's taken many years and many many hours looking at lots on ebay. I have done a few posts on boxes I own on here if you look at my threads but not my whole collection, most of them aren't that important really.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
