I was doing some spring cleaning in my closet and found five unopened boxes of the original HP POA.  Its been a while since I have checked, but does anyone know what an unopened box is worth these days?

Thanks,

What a surprise indeed! Cool

No boxes have been entered into the price guide since 2006, so that's some indication of how often these surface.

If you can keep from opening them, eBay's the way to go.  Auctions are perfect for rarely seen items.

Anyone else seen one sell for for sale lately?

Id put one on ebay and see how it goes; if you put all five up at once, interest might be diluted, but if it was just one youd probably get a good bidding frenzy.

What I want to know if how you managed to stash five away to begin with?Huh Shocked

Definitely put one at a time up on eBay if you do not plan to open them yourself. I would guess you could get a nice little penny for these.

I remember buying a case when they first came out and opening some of the boxes. (Good Times!)  Must have put these five away for a rainy day. Did the original POA boxes have duds or was that the update set?

Both sets had dud boxes, but the update set was much worse than the first set.

If you can remember what you got in the rest of the case, it may be worth the gamble of opening the remaining five. A high-end auto and prop or a varient costume could end up being a better sale than all the boxes put together.
