I think the price is fair assuming everything is legit otherwise. I am sure you could always source a Panerai box if you really wanted one.
I look at it this way, I think you'd be getting a fan favorite piece that's already on the secondary market at a good price. Even IF you wanted to resell it without the box, I still think you'd be able to get a similar price to what they are asking provided condition remains the same. Regular production Panerai pieces all take a hit on the secondary market, you've already weathered that. I don't think the box matters much at this point as long as your purchase is protected and you get some form of authenticity.
