not on display then they are in their original box and the original box is in the orginal shipper. The only exceptions to that are if I purchased a doll second-hand and they didn't have the original box and shipper. I feel that this way the doll and box are protected and the whole set doesn't take up and more room than necessary.

All things being equal I would pay more for a doll with their original box and original shipper than just the doll alone.

Having said that.....if there was an easy way to sell probably 2/3 or more of my collection I would do it as there are many many dolls that I have not had displayed in a long time.
