Yeah, you're supposed to sell it. The amount of info you get is terrible, however it's an extremely rare item. I've been playing since beta and I've only received it twice. O_o
Edit: I'm pretty sure it has descriptive text in its details. Can anyone tell me what it says? It will be difficult for me to get another one of these.

I think I read on either Personlll or XXT's details that one of them had a BoV, so they may be your best bet.
I have played for over 2 years, with 2 level 50s and only have gotten it once, and that was when I was farming Headless frags for the shades.

You can either:
1. Sell to vendor for 5k
2. Recycle if for 2.5k
3. Keep it for collectivity's sake
EDIT: Here you go Othinn



I've gotten three in the last 4 months.
>_>
Yay! Thanks, guys!

I just got a box a few day's ago. Anyone remember why they are here?

They predate the winter event. The first one I got was during beta, the second was shortly after the game went live. They are very, very rare.

The point of the item is to give to Neo when he comes back. It's reniniscent of when the crowd in Zion offered him gifts to protect loved ones.
Not really, but it sounds as good a reason as any.
So we have a box, we don't know why is here? All we know is that it came during some event long long time ago. Why do the NPC's even drop them? Any good idea's?
img>It is rare, just not that rare. I think Othinn never finds them because he makes a habit of not killing anything.Made me laugh.
I've been here since pre-launch and I don't think I've ever gotten one... maybe one once, but I might be imagining it. I probably recycled or sold it because it had no function.
Has anyone checked to see if the prop vendors stock them?

So it's just a prop then... no function other than a small value.

I'm certain that they don't carry them. A 'prop' is a fitting description for it. Besides the fact that it is non-tradable, it has less value than a prop. I'm curious as to the intended purpose of the item, if there ever was one...
They didnt appear during game or handed out for any particular or mentioned reason (atleast not in my time here). They've always been there and are, for the selling price of them, stupidly rare.
I am nearly sure (as most have mentioned) that they drop generally in lower levels. if im correct i'd guess they're purpose was to balance reward for higher levels missioning with lower level mobs. I.E. a boost in $inf in the form of a sellable only item for money. Atleast it always dropped with lower mobs for me, hence my reasoning... (:
That is all
