It's not non-sensical.  I have cleaned out a couple of camera stores for 
friends, and having a box (even with the wrong s/n) can increase the value 
of an item on Ebay by $50-75. Something psychological.  Also, if you have 
original packaging, it is a lot easier to ship items if you sell them later; 
most product packaging incorporates enough styrofoam to almost act as a 
standalone package.
