You may laugh, but I know someone who sold an empty box on Ebay for £70 ("Standard" fireworks, not bike parts)

Loads of people sell boxes for the people who want to sell an item 'boxed' but don't have one.

Some folk find a boxed item more attractive.

Allows someone else to sell a stolen Reverb as 'new/boxed'?

The Naim box will provide better boxness than any old cheap box. 😉

Its for padding out insurance claims - for people adding things they want to the list of things they've lost after a break in - an empty box, or instruction leaflets or any other ephemera can be used as 'proof' for the insurer that you owned the things you say have been stolen, so people trade in empty boxes for that reason.

£15 seems silly steep prices, but maybe a legit reason is if you need to send your reverb off to be serviced or sell it and you want a box it'll fit in nicely?

Also, if you buy an empty box does it come in a bigger box?

Wasn't that long ago I saw someone selling a poster of a Cannondale for £1500 - he was quite upfront about it being a poster and had still managed 3 bids

Are you saying there's a market for oversized reverb boxes so that sellers of reverb boxes can sell their reverb boxes boxed?

hmmmmm
