In the past people have acted like their box contained jewels or collectibles by giving hints, crap like that. We bought one at work to see what the hell was in it. Paid 25 bucks between 7 or us. Box was said to have a value of at least $250. It turned out to be some old crap magazines, a few buttons and spools and an old wooden spool. We complained ot course and he claimed the mags were worth $250 to the right collector. Funny none the less and a for a few bucks we got to expose the fraud. He since left ebay and am sure has a new name.
