That box is slightly worse than my F AT box which I very happy to have. I would think that it is worth $10+ by itself, easily.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

We got a box?



Is there someplace to get boxes with styrofoam inserts that correctly fit M's and F's (apart from the 122s) ?  Sitting on a shelf I suppose it doesn't matter too much whether they're in bubble wrap or styrofoam, but if the price were right might put a couple in decent boxes...

1 avid collector has had some awesome styrofoam inserts and boxes fabricated for the bolt-modded Model Ms he is selling.
