I tend to keep all mine incase i want to upgrade etc

Nothing better then recieving a 2nd hand item in good packaging.

Is this Thread a joke??? Was this Thread initiated to simply post a question? What a topic...

I generally keep boxes for any electronics, be it phone, ipod or headphones. Its better for reselling, and i value original packaging.

I throw all the packages away from everything a couple days after purchase. I can keep the boxes in case I want to sell it, with a original box I maybe can get a 10 euro extra. The disadvantage is that I have to store and keep a lot of boxes and I only need maybe 10% of it, and they only increase a selling price with 10 euro.

In approx three years I would keep and store maybe 30 boxes while I only get a 30 euro extra sale price for it. Those 30 euro isn't worth the storage for me

Definitely keep, IMO resale value goes down a lot when you don't have the original box/accessories.

And I'm somewhat of a packrat, I like to keep and collect many things I own without throwing things away.

I've kept the metal tin that my E530's came in, it was like a work of art lol brushed aluminium or something.

The only packaging I've kept is my HF-1 packaging.

/me!

I have kept all the original packaging for the two pairs I have bought new. Sadly the previous owners of my two used pairs did not, so they are partially incomplete.

after realizing the resale potential of IEM's, i have kept my triple.fi packaging in case i want to sell them later and it adds value.

Always when possible. Nobody knows if you're selling them.

 

[wharfrat1]

No brainer. I've kept the boxes for all of my cans and amps. I can tell you, it makes a difference when you try to sell them. If I buy it new, I always keep the receipt as well.

 

[shigzeo]

my sa6 have all the original packages, guarantees and papers. they even have extra tips from the likes of ety, westone etc. shameless

 

[ipodlover77]

keep mine. that se530 packaging is SLEEK.

 

[metllicamilitia]

I still have the packaging for my SA6's, it's quite handy to keep extra tips and such in. But my step dad has everyone beat, he still has the original packaging and receipt for the AKG cans he bought back in '88, and they still work and sound great.

My packaging definitely helps with the resale value of my SE530, it went for almost £200!!!

Keep it by all means.
