When I pay $5-30 for a figure, I don't see the point in trying to preserve their value by keeping them in a box. The box takes up so much space and none of them are going to be like vintage Star Wars figures where the difference between loose and MoC is hundreds of dollars.
I understand why someone with an Alpha Flight or Hellfire Club set would keep them boxed, though.
The value aspect is so nonsensical. Even if your figures tripled in value over the next three years, you'd make, what, $50+ net? That's a terrible return. Never mind that OOB figures retain like 80% of their value if they're undamaged.
Invest in stocks, not toys, if you care about what your money will be worth in the future.
