I have the boxes for any electronics still in my possession. This is because very rarely can you find information from the piece/part itself, and you need the box/manual that came with it.
This post is generally bad advice. If you throw everything away, you are at the mercy of a Google search for any information you may need.
Millennial? Gen X'er here. I have the box for every piece of electronics or appliance, and I have an extremely limited amount of space. If you like to resell things when you no longer need them it really helps.
Done! Now what do I do about the closet full of Amazon boxes?
You might be able to reuse them next time you need to send a package! Better keep at least fifty just incase.
No.
I get a better deal if i resell it with his original box.
The sole reason why I keep my boxes, is because some people won't buy your phone unless you also have the box with it. Otherwise they'll rightfully assume that you stole it from some random person and want to pawn it off.
I'd have to find it first. I mean, it's probably here somewhere.
They aren't built to last long enough to go back in the box, or is that just me disabling and destructing phones all about the place?
At this point I think my OG Droid box is almost a family heirloom.
I use it to hold my old phone that I'll never use but just in case
I think I have every phone box since my original Galaxy Nexus in 2011. :(
Is this the OCD support group?
The make really nice boxes though.
I threw out a box of cell phone boxes just this week at the behest of my wife. Apparently it's a quintessentially millennial thing to do...
I used a cardboard once. This justify everything for ever
I'd say keep a few boxes for second hand shipping and storing things but otherwise just toss everythting. A single phone box is fine imo but more is pointless
Meh, I always sell my phones if I don't trade them in. Doesn't hurt to keep the tiny box it came in.
I used mine as a door stop for my balcony door for years.
You're not my dad!
Hey. Those boxes are great for sewing notions.
