Anybody want to buy a FCR box? For an additional  $5, I'll fill it up with parts.     Need a pair of used hearing aids? The Parma box guy has a pair for $250.

$250! I paid over $6,000 for mine! Of coarse mine are EQd for my hearing loss and updated and cleaned twice a year, or more often if needed.

Seriously though, I know that slot car stuff is more collectable then ever before, but this is a bit much. The only reason anybody would want those things is if they wanted to misrepresent used cars as "new in box" but anybody who looked closely could tell at a glance if a car's been run before.

Paul. my wife has a pair of those multi-thousand dollar hearing aids with rechargeable batteries, tuned by computer. She's had other cheaper models, but they don' last. 

 

If my memory is correct, those Parma car boxes aren't those Parma used last. I think the artwork is an earlier design, but I sold all my Parma catalogs, so I can't check.

these I have are Miracle Ear and are the best investment I ever made, they have much more expensive ones too, but these do the job. they are insured!

E-bay just e-mailed me and offered me $10 off on the boxes! I've got hundreds of Athearn and MDC model train car boxes, wonder how much I can get for them!

those look like the boxes parma was using about 35 years ago

Retired Auctioneer, Vintage toy boxes can bring more money than the toy. Toy boxes are the first thing to get lost or thrown away. Original boxes can fetch $800.00+ in some cases. Those boxes are way over priced, seller is fishing!!!!! LOL
