Rurouni Kenshin Boxset

[Andromeda18_]

A Dragonbox now costs more than $800 but how much did you pay for them? Those $800-$1000 aren't all profit, are they?
Just look at it like this, the bootleg edition of Kenshin costs about $84 (on IA), the OVAs+movie edition costs $14, that's a total of $98. That's $577 cheaper than the edition you're thinking of buying. If you're thinking of selling it later on, you'd better make a profit of at least $577 or it's not worth it. This edition is only worth buying if you actually want to keep it because you like it, or if you can make a profit of more than $577.

By the way, according to the wikipedia

The first Dragonbox was released in Japan on March 19, 2003. It was NTSC region 2 encoded at a price of 100,000 yen, which according to XE.com[1], comes out to $869.92 or £460.85 (as of 8/3/06).

The first Dragon Box on release cost around $900, and this price was used for every Dragonbox up to the GT series box.

You said that

they were only for Pre-Order, and now you can only get them used at over $800 (except the Movies)

There's either some sort of mistake here or they're not much more expensive now than they were when they were released.
