I find myself hoarding empty boxes and decided to offer them for sale to collectors in need (roughly 25% of retail) + freebies (extra boxes/pages/binders) Sold to 3 different people and they were fine with that especially since I threw in extras.

I then had a guy "demanding" that .50 a box was only fair price (no matter the size) +freebies+ 12 more 5000 ct boxes (i have em but he didnt know that) Just a peculiar character, that I discovered was selling used boxes at 50% of retail (someone already said he was just "mad" I was offering them for less) Not really relevant, just a funny encounter.

The heart of what I was asking is what is "fair" for used boxes? (some yellowed, some with writing,all with lids and sturdy....so good condition used boxes)

during the pandemic when new cardboard was backordered, one of my local shops sold used boxes at about 40% and I was glad to gobble them up

during the pandemic I really need/wanted boxes but lcs was charging double for the only sized box he had. I then found a guy that was selling every size at wholsale or "normal" prices. Now I have way more boxes than Ill ever use. Not a serious issue, just kinda funny how things like that go....do you think 25% is a reasonable ask?

I think that 25% is completely reasonable.
