Way to much gear boxes - are you keeping or tossing?

5 years 2 months ago #627760 by Scott Klubeck
My wife made a good point, I have way to many boxes stacked up in the garage from gear that I have purchased.  I'm thinking  I'm going to get rid of all the boxes except the ones for my camera bodies and lenses.  

Do you keep those?  Or toss all?

There are shelves in the prop room where these are kept
out of the way. Nowadays, with the net, it is bought and
sold from and to anywhere… shipping in correct packing
material is crucial for both yourself and the deal partner.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

I keep mine. Little boxes go into bigger boxes, and stored in the attic. I don't cycle equipment much, so it's probably silly, but when I need the original box I have it.

Same here, all my boxes fit into a old Uhaul box in my garage.  Not much space taken at all.  When I sell old gear, the buyers always appreciate having the original box.

I only keep the boxes to the larger items that cost more.  Everything else is thrown out.

I have a shelf in the garage with all mine on it.  Come to think of it, it's in plain site and might not be bad idea to hide.
