¿Question #5417?
KANDANG: Would you buy a game you really wanted if the box outside is wrecked, but the inside is still in perfect condition?

Woelf: Years ago I picked up a copy of Seafarers of Catan for super cheap because the box was is pretty rough shape. That didn't matter to me because everything went into the main game's box. If the box is going to be used as the primary storage/transport, I'd prefer it to be in relatively decent shape. Obviously not paying full price if it's wrecked, no matter how badly I wanted the game.
BOBBYCAN: Sure.
El Hidalgo: I own games like this.
ArseFez: Batman
roo414: Yes
Patricula: Yep!
Felimid: Yes.
dokmatrix: Probably not, since I typically use the box to contain the pieces and such.
AdrianPHague: Yarp. Dent 'n' ding holds no fear for me.
pwilz: Um, I assume you mean all the components, too. Yes, I'd buy it, but I expect I wouldn't be willing to pay as much. Why, what have you got?
indigopotter: Yes.
MisterCranky: Gromf="don't care don't know"
Corran Horn: Yep.
Engoduun: If it's real cheap, yes.
Drakeyx: Yesssss, ALL my games look like that...
jessitron: Certainly. The box is non-critical
tankexmortis: Sure, as long as it was either discounted because of the damage or rare enough that I'd be unlikely to easily find a copy in better shape.
Rubric: Yes, if I get a big discount, or if the game is not available anywhere else.
aleo09: sure, but it would depend on the game.
Zedsdead: Not likely. If it was out of print and hard to find and I was getting a huge discount...no, even then I doubt it.
mintylish: definitely - I'm a player not a collector
gmcash: sure
snorville: Yes. This is something I recently came upon. Especially if it is difficult to find/out of print.
Stradk: no I dont think so..
Harkonnen13: Yes if I wanted the game bad enough.
ironsizide: prolly not
1000rpm: Of course! But I'd get a discount too!
MotUfan: Yes, if I was planning to throw away the box anyway (Heroscape for example) or if it was extremely hard to come by.
Patticus: depends on the price, if it was cheaper heck yeah
chockle: Yes, if it was really hard to get a mint copy.
tipigi: sure
elirlandes: Of course.
DHEK: Yeah, of course! The box is just a minor thing if you can get perfect contents. Of course, I'd expect a discount on the game for the damaged box. :)
Ebon Wendigo: Maybe
2amp: yup
Kibbersdog: If it was the only copy left. Otherwise, I'd just wait and order it elsewhere.

Burnham: Yes, if the price was knocked down a little bit or if it were hard to get ahold of (aka OOP).
Dorque: Yup.
Nekura: Only if it was rare and/or out of print
Gwahlur: Yes I would, particularly if I`m getting it cheap. It`s the inside that counts.
Igloo cool: Yes
TheDS: yes!
the_redstar_swl: I'd buy it and then get a second copy to keep shrinkwraped
Croesus: no
jasta6: Depends on how bad. If it would still protect the game contents then yes, if not, NO..........................
