Do you keep your Apple product boxes and packaging?

[greasemuntney]

I still have all the iPhone boxes that we still use. I keep them for resale value and still have every Apple sticker that has ever came with any of my products. I even have my MBA box with all packaging stored just like the iPhone boxes. Just a pet peeve I guess.

Yes - I keep everything. Helps when you come to sell for one reason.

I do keep them - they are small and I can hide them from the wife. Any empty box she sees goes right to the recycle bin.

not only do i keep all of my Apple packaging but i do it with everything else in my fricking life!

i really need to see someone about that..

You and me both. My front bedroom is full of boxes with receipts and paperwork jammed inside. If I buy a new DVD player, the box is kept plus the receipt and paperwork, just in case. Only after the item breaks or if I give it away does the box and paperwork get thrown out. My Apple box is in my bedroom behind my TV. Paperwork for it from Verizon is crammed inside.

I even keep the boxes of stuff I don't own anymore, like my original iPhone, which I sold years ago...buyer didn't want the box, and it's still at the bottom of the pile of iPhone boxes

I will leave it to Rene to enforce the rules here but there is a general rule that newbies should not create new threads. If you are a newbie both to the iPhone and the forum, you should explore the existing threads before doing anything By the time you have explored the existing threads ro find the one that best fits your question, you will likely have found your answer. In any case, you will no longer be a newbie.

I keep all my boxes from my Apple products (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Magic Mouse, etc...) and I keep the receipt inside of the boxes. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one doing so. My wife ask me all the time why, and I have no explanation other than becuase I want too. What's stranger is I actually enjoy looking at them as they are all lined up on a self in my computer room by box size. Sometimes I open them to re-live the magic from the day I bought the device, LOL. I guess I'm strange.

yer they're so nice and provide a very nice solution for re-packing but i keep it mostly cos i think of it as memrobillia

 

[rayz336]

Only for my current iPhone

 

[Septembersrain]

I keep them for all the devices I have bought. I think it helps me resell if I'm inclined to do so. ^_^

I keep my original packaging for this reason also. I do have one other function for the box though. I keep my phone money in it. When I purchase a new device, I start a collection for the next one in it. So I put aside $60 every paycheck and put it in my current phone box. When I get enough money to get something else, that's when I get something else. This method seems to work well for me.

Yup, I sure do. My Wife thinks I'm KRAZY.....I keep all my boxes for all devices and accessories as well.

 

[LockOnTech]

I pretty much keep all boxes to the electronic I purchase. I believe that it is important to keep them.

 

[taz323]

Keep them all.

 

[CDG]

Yep, keep them all including boxes to covers and cases. Lol

 

[HankAZ]

I have 3 large boxes full of Apple product boxes. They include Macs, iPhones, iPads, AppleTVs, Airports, iPods, Magic Mouse(s), Keyboards, etc. I even keep the boxes from extra lightning cables and adapters.

 

[Flow39]

Oh yeah, of course I keep the boxes! They look cool, plus if I ever sold them, the resale value is much higher than without the box

 

[QP Mihai]

I keep everything except the shrink wrap.

 

[The_Lorax]

I did until I realized I was just being a hoarder. 90% of people have no need or intentions of reselling their old products to anyone other than the store so they can upgrade. To me its just collecting dust and taking up space. Burn it people if your that worried about people seeing what you just bought even thought most people could give a **** less.

 

[whmurray]

But they are such nice boxes. I save jewelry boxes too.

I do pass iPhones and iPads to family members. The boxes make it a little more special.
