From my POV, you're basically paying for the certificate of authenticity when you get something like this. Which means it's an official replica prop. That's what the extra money is going towards.
Sure you can buy a regular old wooden box and mod it so it looks exactly like the box on the show but it won't have a certificate of authenticity and it won't be an officially licensed replica prop.
It's like a Star Wars lightsaber handle or whatever you call it. Sure you could easily make one from spare parts or stuff from Home Depot but I'm sure most Star Wars collectors would prefer an officially licensed replica prop lightsaber from Lucas films or Sideshow, etc. Even though the difference in price would be significant.
Same principle. It's something you could easily make/find on your own but that's not the point.
Some people just want the prop/replica and are happy with that like ShadowX81. And other people want the certificate of authenticity to signify that it's an official replica prop like Dark Passenger.
Just depends on what you want and are happier with.
And just for the record, I personally think MOST movie props/prop replica's are F'n stupid and have no idea why most people would want them i.e. $20 blood slide box or $165 blood slide box.. I think BOTH are stupid.
And that's coming from a fan of the show too.
