I suspect the price of cardboard will rise to new heights with this one. A DM-2 box sold for $40 about 6 months ago. Can't remember if a manual was included with that or not. This one will surely sell for at least the same price.

How Much would it cost to have replica boxes made? I'm sure there are companies that will create identical boxes based on a layout file. I see a business opportunity here... unless they require that I order at least 1000 boxes.

Yes that's right.
Maybe if the Boss logo was replaced with Bossarea instead...?

give it enough time and someone will start coming out with Bosss or Bos boxes which look like Boss ones but they're not!

WTF! This box is up to $67 and the auction is not even over yet.

I should sell my VB-2 box and keep the VB-2 pedal. Anybody want to buy a little cardboard box for $100?

Looks like the buyer is a serious collector.
His last 6 or 7 buys has been older Roland/Ace Tone pedals.
