I see that the original post is a bit old, but I don't frequent the forums much anymore.....
Depends on the game. I had a LoTR game that was nearly new in box. I played the game years ago, but having always kept the box and everything that came inside of it - plus having all the CDs in mint condition - I sold it for around $100.
I still have a lot of boxes for old PC games, but I sold a lot of them, too. I probably had 150 boxed PC games - think I sold off around half of them. When I was underemployed and every dollar helped, I started selling off my older PC games. Probably made around $1500 selling off the 70-75 games.
All the PC games I've purchased, I kept all the boxes and things that came with. Are they worth much? Not really - most of them certainly aren't worth the cost I paid for them when I originally purchased them. Most of them would probably fetch around $20 and a few upwards of $50-75.
Condition, rarity and popularity of the game are what count the most. If you just have a box or manual, you might get a few bucks after you sell and ship them. Without the actual game, they might not be worth your time unless you're really tight on cash and every dollar helps.
