The old shooter grade firearms I like don't come in pretty boxes.

It seems I'm not the only one that feels this way, but if I want the gun, I'll buy box or no, but I do prefer that everything from the factory be included. I do think having box and docs does increase the sales potential.

Not having the box is not a deal breaker for me. Most of the time if the gun is an a box, sock, or case, it is in nicer condition.
I keep the box and throw the gun away. Actually, to me a box just takes up room. But I don't buy collectable guns because it comes with a box, I buy collectable gun because of the gun.
Maybe I should have asked "what do you do with all the factory stuff that comes in the factory case once you throw it in the trash"?
if you have a 1960s-1980s smith&wesson then it is considered, but if it's a firearm produced within the last 20-25 years then not so much unless it's a very rare limited edition with special box
Handgun yes, not so much with long guns
I keep everything, but if someone has something I want and it doesnt have the box and goodies I dont really care.
Would you pay premium for it missing all the goodies? Just curious.
I don't really care about the box when I buy something, but I hang onto the boxes that I have. Some of them are good for travel. The Springfield boxes, for example, are perfect for travel cases,.can be locked and are even airline approved. None of that matters to me, but it may to some.
Again, I don't really care if I have a box or not, but I do wonder why someone would throw away a factory case?
