I\'M SELLING THIS NWA THAT I GOT AT THE CALRISLE CAR SHOW ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME AT A LOCAL TOY SHOW. SO A VENDOR HAD A YONE NORTHWEST DC-7 BUT IN MINT CONDITION, AND WANTED $650.00. WE NEGOTIATED IT DOWN TO $525.00, AND THOUGH IT WAS TOO HIGH A PRICE FOR ME, I DECIDED TO TAKE IT (IT IS LITERALLY MINT, AND I NEVER HAD A MINT ONE BEFORE!). AS I PAID HIM I NOTICED A LONG BOX STICKING OUT OF A TRASH CAN NEXT TO HIM. I ASKED HIM WHAT THE BOX WAS, AND HE PICKED IT OUT OF THE TRASH BIN. IT WAS THE BOX FOR THE AIRPLANE, FLATTENED OUT BUT IN NEARLY PERFECT SHAPE (IT IS THE WHITE VERSION OF THE BOX, NOT THE BLUE VERSION). MY EYES SHOT OPEN, AND HE NONCHALANTLY SAID, \"OH, THIS IS THE BOX I GOT WITH THE AIRPLANE AT THE sale. I WAS GOING TO CHUCK IT OUT, BUT IT\'S YOURS IF YOU WANT IT,\" AND HE HANDED IT OVER WITH THE PLANE. HE WAS GOING TO THROW OUT THE BOX FOR THE PLANE!!! I WALKED AWAY STUNNED BY WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. ANYWAY, I\'M SO HAPPY WITH GETTING A MINT-IN-THE-BOX NWA DC-7 THAT I AM GOING TO LET MY OLDER NWA GO TO SOMEONE WHO THINKS THESE DC-7B PLANES ARE AS COOL AS I DO. BEST OF LUCK ON THIS sale. I HOPE YOU WIN IT!!!
