How is it dishonest if it is clearly labeled as such? So people do not bother to read an auction and he is the bad guy??? There are several hobbies where empty boxes alone can demand a heavy price. Don't beleive me check these auctions out::
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40|R40&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=10&_fpos=&_fsct=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=transformers+empty+box&_sop=3
Those are different. Thanks for sharing.

It is not at all dishonest, I never tried to sell them as anything other than empty boxes, people actually requested the empty boxes, thats why I started putting them up.
They were clearly labelled as empty boxes, I even put it in big red writing in the description, twice, but people still purchased without reading.
I now send them direct to the few people that want them, i stopped selling the boxes on ebay, because i did not want to look like I was purposefully ripping people off.
I still do trade, I receive a lot of thanks as well, as thankfully not everyone makes crappy assumptions.
That is good that you can still sell them without people going nuts about an empty box. Where are my models... rage .rage..rage.. LOL!!
. I had a friend selling a Transformers box and had it labeled as empty in bold as it could be and he got questions about the condition of the toy..................no words..........

All the Armrorcast Titan Auctions make me sad. I had both of them and sold them for what they cost me. If I had just let them collect dust in my basement I could have sold them for significantly more.

Speaking as an old TF collector those empty boxes are big. If you have a mint figure, simply having the box (let alone the styrofoam) can raise the value of the figure tons.
I once paid $300 for 2 figs that were in original boxes with styrofoam and that was 10 years ago. I could probably get ~ $200 each now.

Reading comprehension is a constant problem for ebay. I had someone return some Epic Landraiders to me because they thought the 'Epic' bit in the title was referring to how cool the miniatures were, rather than the game they were intended for, and was expecting the full sized 40k model. You would have thought that the £6 for 3 of them, and the photo, would have been a clue
Another, non-gaming related, classic which was similar was for a Porsche Spyder. The person had put 'James Dean' in the title section. The first line, in red, bold capital letters in large type was "For the last fething time, this isn't the actual car that James Dean was driving when he was killed. It's just the same model of car"

This thread is always on thin ice as far as I'm concerned.
It skirts the edge of Rule #1, in my opinion, in spirit if not in true intent.
So, with that said, please try to at least make it about wargaming 'oddities', and not just 'excuses to mock'.
