Boxes for stuff

[Footyslayer]

And if it does, package it up in something else.

I chuck them all. Yeah i lose a bit on resale, but its better than taking up half the house.

Well I mean for RMA's etc, I think if you send anything back in it's actual boxes it looks good on yourself.

Also yeah for sell on value

When I go up in the loft to get the christmas decs down, I'll take a picture of half the loft full of boxes of boxes.

My girlfriend is forever having a go at me because I keep the boxes for everything I buy (valuable items, such as PC parts, AV stuff). Do you throw yours out or keep it? What value is there in keeping it beyond adding a few % to the items resale price? I have a few cupboards worth!

I save all my boxes for RMA purposes incase something breaks.

the only company I have ever known to send a courier with a box is sony

 

[freshdeniability]

I keep mine if I think I'll ever resell the item, others I throw away. I do have quite a collection now.

 

[Skeeter]

I do this. But I'm terrible for keeping track. A while back I had a proper clear out and found I still had boxes for items i didn't have any more!

 

[starfighter]

I get rid of the box. I just don't have room for them. If it breaks I am pretty sure you don't need the box. Although I know some people like to sell stuff. I just make sure it is going to last a long time before I buy, not one for ebaying something when the next model comes out.

 

[bartledvd]

i keep the boxes only for warranty issues not sure i have ever sold a single thing other than for work

 

[pitchfork]

I keep mine because they come in useful eventually, returning things under warranty, selling stuff, protecting floors, wrapping things up. Not everything though, just one of each size (roughly)

 

[Yaayuh!]

90% of the time i keep the box up in the loft, especially for anything tech-wise. Just in case i need to take/send it back or sell it.

 

[Doomedspeed]

I keep mine.. Helps when it comes to sell.

 

[Glanza]

I generally keep the boxes for my more expensive purchases until their out of warranty or I have no plan to sell them on.

 

[TFleming]

I keep every box, come to think of it. Not that I have many. Not for a conscious
reason either, am I a hoarder :O?

 

[pastymuncher]

Always keep the boxes. Along with the accessories they tend to increase the price people will pay when selling. Also needed for RMA's and easier if posting the item to someone.

 

[mejinks]

More importantly whats it got to do with her? If she is like this over small stuff, imagine the hassle when it comes to important stuff! Ditch now before you become an ocuk thread on a failed relationship....

 

[Werewolf]

For anything electrical I tend to keep the box for a year or two (usually in the loft), then have a mammoth trip to the tip with them every few years.

 

[Meridian]

Keep, as long as I have a loft to store them. Useful for moving and selling.

 

[MrMarvelous]

Electronics = always keep the box personally.

I tend to sell after i'm done and it helps to stop the price plummeting when it's without a box/manuals etc..
