This empty Kenner ALIEN action figure box sold on eBay auction today for US$281.

This is the same empty box item listed for  ‘Buy Now’ in early May on eBay but failed to attract a buyer.  Aside from the main difference the item is now sold, it lacks the poster the earlier listing originally included.  This sale featured only the box with no extras.  The poster itself would have easily raised the value of the box had it been included in the listing.  Posters on their own can easily fetch US$100.

3 bidders participated in the auction. That’s at least 3 people prepared to buy this prize for at least US$199, the price at which the auction opened at.  Taking into consideration this sale includes only the box without the poster, unlike its prior listing, that’s an amazing amount of money – just for an empty box. No poster.  No insert.  No action figure.  The auction closed at US$281.

Empty Kenner ALIEN boxes like this one are rare but when they do become available on eBay, they will fetch hundreds of dollars without fail.  This is not unusual and the sale of this item at this price was expected.  I’m just surprised it didn’t sell when it was first listed.
