I keep all the important boxes like PC hardware, peripherals, higher end gadgets and devices especially because these need proper packing when you decide to sell it in the future. For most electronic items, I keep the boxes for warranty / RMA issues. Once warranty period is done and if not important then I throw it out.At what point is it too many boxes ?
I have a small stack in my room also of product boxes. My mom nags me all the time to throw them out.
How do you decide what to throw out and what to keep ?
Some boxes have inner packaging layers which I recycle and use it to keep other smaller stuff inside cupboards, lofts or other bigger boxes in storage. The outer layer brand packaging I fold and keep away for memories (maybe after some years if it’s irrelevant I’d throw it out).
I put some smaller irrelevant boxes in an old defunct monitor box and then kept it in a storage loft. And the more important smaller boxes in an easy to access drawer. Always keep your PC case packaging, this is important for reselling in future, I made a mistake of not keeping my previous case box and had to sell it locally.
