I buy guns to shoot so I don't give a crap about box, papers, etc. I do keep my boxes for the most part... I just sold my 590a1 and didn't the box because I tossed it years ago. So, know who you are dealing with and stop being so paranoid... just a thought 
Very good point. But I would venture a guess that most stolen guns don't involve a box. I would also venture a guess that MOST people with a "Like new" newish, late model gun should be able to produce the original box and paperwork if they bought it legitimately.
There are weapons, mainly rifles that LGS' sell from crates. I purchased two 1969 SKS' several years ago like this. They still had the cosmoline on them. No boxes.
I didn't think a box mattered that much until I went looking for the one that went to my Colt 70 Series Gold Cup..... it cost me $200-300 by not having it.... I don't think it matters that much on a Glock.... maybe $25.......
Oh yeah, I agree completely, none of you guys should buy guns without boxes.... more for me :P
I do like to get the box and papers with a gun but it would not be a deal breaker for me. I got in the habit 40 years ago to keep all the papers and boxes when I buy a new gun. I was told once that it could make the gun a little more valuable than without the stuff, so I keep them. You should see my attic, dozens of gun boxes
Ghost...I'm not an idiot. I don't expect a box with an SKS lol. I would be shocked to find any old military rifle or pistol with box.
