Box Condition- How much does it matter when selling/trading?

[tribalsoul]

So... I've got two sets: 65081 (R2-D2 / C-3PO Droid Collectors) and 7133 (Bounty Hunter Pursuit). Both are still in their sealed boxes, but both boxes show some wear as I always intended to open them but never have. What's the best way to handle these conditions when trading/selling?

I'm not looking to invest or pillage people with prices or unreasonable trade, I just think someone else might appreciate the sets more than my son or I will and we could trade for things he'd enjoy as much or more.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Obviously the most important thing is to be clear and explicit about the damage when attempting to trade/sell. Beyond that I would just expect prospective buyers to use it as a bargaining tool to get more value. I doubt many people would buy/trade for damaged boxes as investments so I wouldn't expect to get market value for the sets. As for how much below value you get, I guess it depends on what you're willing to accept.
