Ebay won't let me sell my watch box!

[GingerRob]

I sold a nokia 8800 sirroco box on there not too long ago, maybe putting it under a different topic could help with the listing? General listing for rolex?

You need to be American

I have just spent loads of time photographing and describing a box & leather case for an Omega Speedmaster that I lost years ago, and then they tell me I can't list it because it's :

" An empty branded box, bag, tin or other container that could be potentially used to hold and sell a similar or identical product. "

Who'd have thought that empty boxes would be banned from sale!

You still got the hardcover instruction manual?

What sort of prices do the old original Heuer boxes go fo these days?

Have seen a few in worse condition than mine sell for £325 £350 and £425 respectively over the past few months.. was amazed how much!

They are silly money for boxes...I've seen the difference in asking prices between Monacos boxed with papers and just watches, in some cases the difference is thousands, so from that perspective shelling out £400 to make £2000 doesn't seem too daft.

I re-worded the ad to avoid Ebay's rule breaking detectors and got over £70 for it eventually

Cheers for all your advice.
