This relisted ipad box had been bid up to £36 and the guy received a neg.
They now have altered the Title/Description and it will be interesting to see the outcome.

Doesn't an original iPhone box in perfect condition go for silly money to collectors?

Reminds me of a few years ago when some sellers were trying to sell £2 coins saying they were limited edition produced to celebrate the release of Oasis's 4th album (as they both shared "standing on the shoulders of giants" on them. £2 coin for sale for a mere £5

Listed under "iPad/Tablet/eReaders" but shouldn't it be listed under "iPad/Tablet/eReaders Accesories" ??

I think that is the fundamental problem with this type of listing. :cool:

Or under packaging and materials (or whatever the category name is).

Actually, it can be that some product boxes are worth some money - boxes for high-end audio equipment can go for as much as £50, and some vintage kit can be much enhanced by having the corresponding box.

But I don't see how an iPad would fit into that.

I totally agree.
It doesn't matter that some buyers might not read the listing properly.
It doesn't matter that the seller mentions the sale is for a box only.
Why is the item,yet again in the wrong category?:mad:
At the end of the day this listing is deliberate in its intent to rip off a buyer.
