Sonus Faber speaker boxes worth $1200 ?

Right now there is a guy in Columbus Ohio selling Sonus Faber speaker boxes and manual on ebay, asking $895.00 plus $300.00 for shipping, just for the boxes. I know it's nice to have the original boxes especially for shipping but am I missing something?  Apparently, there have been problems with insurance when expensive items packed by the seller arrive damaged. I was advised that original factory boxes solve that problem but are the original boxes really worth that much?

Seems a bit... dear. As others have suggested: Check with an SF dealer. FWIW I still have the boxes for all my gear including my Acoustat 1+1's. IMHO, nothing will protect your investment like original packing.

Which reminds me I need to get boxes for my ARC SP11.
Happy listening.

I had shipping crates made for a pair of C8 mono pre amps and a pair of MC30s in Brazil, 1976. It cost me 35.00 usd. I sold the sealed rosewood crates for 600.00, 20 years later.. The gear inside, 10 years before that.

I had water damage to my Olympica III boxes and had them replaced through my insurance.
My stereo store ordered them for me. They cost $300 each.

Boxes or Crates?  Many times it is the inner packing that is more of a priority than the external sides.
