90 per cent of unboxed discs sold on ebay are copys its rare for people to not have boxes for a large collection of discs such as this, a few maybe but as he has one game thats a copy he is sure to have others. :-)
It is absolutly rare now days. I bought a couple of games on ebay a few months back that came in original box (guy was a butthole too and shipping was double the cost of the software). But the software was original Amiga. I believe it is rare but even if you never use your disks they WILL go bad. That said, I would pay the programmer if I were so inclined for a pirated piece of software. Yeah d00de, I'll give you 5 american dollars for that 10 year old title and that's being generous.
Nevertheless it IS important to a collector to have the original box but most of the value (in my mind) of the software is IN the software.
I agree with you Amigamad, but it does seem a little frivilous. Music theft is a far greater problem then classic game theft.
