Are you keeping your camera boxes?

11 months 4 weeks ago #751486 by Connie K Photos
I just emptied out literally 2 closets of boxes from all my camera gear I have acquired over the years.  Are you all keeping the boxes from the gear that you buy?  If you do toss, are there any that you keep?

I toss the ones I don't keep, and keep the ones I don't toss.

Yeah, thanks for that. :huh:

I have been keeping mine for OEM gear, but toss the third-party boxes.

I keep the boxes, makes it easier to sell the item later. Or return. Or send in for repair.

Big items like  cameras, lenses and flashes, I'll keep the boxes.  The rest, I'll toss.

Like some of you, just boxes for the main items.  All else, I toss

Lenses and camera bodies only, the rest are tossed.  Otherwise I would have way to many boxes sitting around!

I was thinking the same thing.  :rofl:

OP - I'm going to be a little echo in here, camera bodies and lenses and the rest toss.

No, toss, I have a small place and not enough space for keeping

Top shelf in my garage has camera gear boxes, I will admit there are boxes to a lot more than just camera body and lenses for me.  :whistle:

I keep all substantial (camera, lights, etc.) boxes in the attic, at least until space becomes a problem. I no longer have boxes for cameras and equipment bought before my last move (trashed them during the move), but that was 40 years ago. I don't think I have any gear older than that either.
