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?

Wow - prefabricated styrofoam and cardboard - and I thought BITCOIN was on a rampage?
Who could have known...?
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.
