The big green thing in the middle is a box that has not been assembled yet. And no, I will not assemble and then open it!

don't know about vintage air, but a Little Old Lady used to come into the service station (boy am I dating myself 
) where my brother worked spring and fall to get the winter air out of her tires and summer air in and vice versa, She as sharp and insisted on watching the valve cores being removed, the tire flat, and then inflated.
So to be as sharp as her: How do I know there is vintage air in the box if it is not opened?

Be gone, you vile noobie valuation beast of confusion! Substituting a question mark for a period doesn't make a question a statement! We shall banish you inside a theoretical box of which has six non-existent walls of despair!

The posts about vintage air make me think of the short story Smoke by William Faulkner.

To the OP, I regret that you feel offended and have withdrawn your offer especially when there is so much genuine interest. Perhaps in time you will reconsider. Might you consider April 1st as a potential re-list date. Interested fools should be at peak.

My family and I have been quoting this movie going past two decades, and I have two--TWO!--copies of it on DVD. One has been opened. The other is in wrapping, but not in a box. Is it worth less or more?And where do we stand on sleeves? Do they count as boxes? Does a sleeve and it's, uh, topless (five-sided) box (bin???) that is slides over to 'complete' count as one entire box? Or is it 1.3 boxes?

This box just told me I'm an idiot.
Oh well, at least it knew what it was up against.
