They were supposedly used at stores only when the games were still sold.
And they tend to be more expensive cause of course they are RARER than normal ones.
Like, a normal box for a normal Super Nintendo game can go from $15 to $30.
Rarer games like Secret of Mana can cost a lot more for box alone.
BUT there's this one game that is one of the rarest ever, Earthbound.
Just the game alone costs around $150 on ebay at BEST.
I bought a box for that game that said "For Display Only" for $100. (!!!!!!!!!!! yes I know, just thought i was getting my hands on a really rare item...)
But the quality of the print looks cheap. Very cheap. I think i got ripped off.
Now there's a ton of people selling tons of display boxes on ebay. They have to be fake.
Here's a pic of the box i paid $100 for, and under is a normal box for another game:

The seller wont accept a return and insists its the real thing.
If anyone has a REAL "For Display Only" box, i really really would appreciate a high quality pic!!!
Its unlikely that many people do... so enjoy my story.
