Interesting.  I bought a CD addon before they started including the CD+G Disc and the packaging looks NOTHING like that. Not exactly original when the same thing came out previously in different packaging.  And I'd feel like a criminal asking $400 for the box alone...  For shame.

I bought mine a few months after it came out, I think it had the same CDG on it, I still can not believe it is going for 400.00 right now.

Thats just it tho.  The seller isnt asking for 400.00.  It appears to be bid up to that amount.  Wow..  Why cant I have one of those to slap on eBay? ](*,)

Wow, you're right.  I didn't catch that.  It was listed for $25.  Hrmph.

At a glance I thought it was a case of "This looks like the whole system but really it's just the box" but I think the seller made it pretty clear that the system is not included.

I don't understand people sometimes.

It'll be fantastic if the seller ships it without wrapping it up in brown paper.  I'm sure the buyer would love to receive an original box covered in waybills and invoices.

Wow, I'm astounded. I still have the box mine came in. I never would have thought it would be worth more than the system.

When I got my CD Addon, that's what happened to me.  I don't remember what I paid for it (it was 15 years ago) but I was not happy when it arrived.

It was only a few years ago, but I wish I'd kept the brown TZD mailing box that my boxed Duo shipped in. I think it even had Air Zonk on it.
