Last minute, pre-price increase, impulse buy

I just got a new artsy and I actually didn't take a box because the leather needs to breathe. My SA said the same thing.
I don't store in the box either, and he instructed me not to, but he insisted that he would have one for me later in the week. I actually thought it was funny and was more excited that they've been so busy - hopefully it's because the economy is improving overall and not just the pre-increase rush.
