How important are original cases. I guess the reason I'm asking is I have two guitars that have brown cases that are, well used. I also have two Ovations that are going to go to ebay that have real nice black newer cases. Should I keep the good cases or the original brown ones?

if it is an original Adamas 1 or II the original case is a big deal. otherwise probably not a big deal
but remember you don't play the cases

If you decide to swap cases, make sure you don't try to put a deep bowl guitar in a mid-bowl case. Been there, done that.

From a vintage point of view, if it's a 30+ year old guitar in B+ or better condition an original case adds to the package. A newer guitar or a workhorse, it's not that important.
To illustrate, when I've bought my Nationals (70+ ytears old) the ones with an original case always cost a little more. But keep in mind aLeX's point above.
