Over the years I've bought N.O.S.parts and always kept the boxes.And I know that if you having the boxes makes N.O.S.parts more valuble.Is there a market for good empty boxes?

yes, crooks put reproduction parts in the box and sell as NOS parts. buyer beware, it happens on ebay often.

Especially when the ad states original box not included.

Not only crooks do this, Jim at Heartbeat has a habit of doing this putting newer GM parts in the old boxes, his explanation is he buys many parts without boxes...when I complain to him I want to return he yells at me on the phone. I told him not to place add with newer parts and showing old boxes in the ad, deceiving to me.

Is heartbeat charging NOS pricing on these parts or "newer GM parts" pricing?
