Hey, I'm wondering if there is a site where i can buy just the boxes for sets i have. I have a real bad problem with buying the cheaper dvd without the box then i finish out the set and now i don't have a box to put it in. so i was wondering if i was able to buy the box without it costing me an arm and a leg.
Thanks

No, companies don't just sell the box by itself. Some box are available by themself though, I can only think of Initial D, Fruit Basket and R. Kenshin.

Other then that, your best bet is to sell your first volume and rebuy it with the box.

It's always possible eBay is carrying it, but watch out for bootlegs. Also, RightStuf.com carrys some empty boxes, but the selection isn't huge. A lot of companies release a box set with the first volume of the DVD, while others release the last volume with a box. Another way to go is to buy the title in a box set instead of volume by volume.

TRSI also seems to have reduced the prices for a lot of Vol 1 + box titles. I know Chrono Crusade is $10 or less right now, but I haven't paid attention to any others.

Would be nice if you oculd buy boxs by themselves. Because some people will not spend the extra money for the box set because they aren't sure wether or not it's truely worth it and when they find out after they have all the episodes.... welp out of luck. But like .sy you can try ebay and maybe you'll get lucky but also do watch out for the bootlegging and the so called con-artist, hate when that happens to people.
