I’ve always thrown out my boxes, but damn am I happy my folks kept my boxes/not for my N64/gameboy/C64. Was a nice surprise to find 20 years later.

Still gutted they threw out the OG apple Mac I’d found though.

andros_rex,

My dad sold off his Apple IIe and I’d kill for that damn thing back.

I can’t get Adventure Construction Set working in emulation…

I keep the box in case I want to resell the thing. Makes it easier to transport by just packing it all back up the way it came.

Hell, I keep my Quest 3 in the box just to store it when not using it because it’s better than buying some extra stand for it and can fit in a drawer.

ObtuseDoorFrame, do gaming w [Official Art] Sibling Portrait - a Plague Tale: Innocence

The ending of the sequel fucked me up for weeks. Absolutely brutal.

The resale for a used switch in the box is greater than without.

the_crotch,

There’s a whole market on eBay for empty apple boxes. You can get over $50 for bacbook pro box, because a used machine will bring in more than that if it comes in the “original” box

Itdidnttrickledown,

I’m well aware. I have five latest generation ipad boxes at the moment.

This is bad advice. Don’t throw out the box immediately after opening your product. Rule of thumb; keep the box for as long as the warranty. If it’s a large thing, keep the box always in case you want to move.

usernamefactory,

I’ve never been declined a warranty reimbursement for lack of original packaging. That would be crazy to me.

ouRKaoS,

Keeping the original box makes it easy if you have to mail something, since you don’t have to try and find one it fits in.

I never have from a big brand, but I’ve run into it with some oddball stuff for sure. Usually electronics

Got to keep the TV boxes in case you ever move. TV moving boxes are ridiculously expensive.

Flaw is it better with an organised team talking in vc than random lobbys. Feels lonely to play by my self

I typically keep my boxes just to be safe. When it becomes too cluttered/have too many boxes, I just throw out the oldest ones

I agree for everything except Nintendo products.

My biggest regret is tossing all my N64 game boxes. Nintendo fans will literally pay more than MSRP for just the box alone.

I did the same thing. SNES as well. The boxes were just packaging to me at the time, but now I wish I had them.

When we moved we cleared out our closet of tech boxes. Found a few accessories and whatnot still in there. Consolidated down to just a few boxes to hold accessories and documentation. Now we’re slowly building the collection again, but we’re better than before. (Mostly because having a kid cut our disposable income quite considerably).

My wife get so annoyed at my boxes

toynbee,

My parents used to feel the same way.

A while back I threw out the box for a $1000 item. It immediately broke and I needed the original packaging to return the thing.

So no, the box stays, at least for a year.

In 2007 I threw away about 50 boxes (all in great condition stored by my dad) of SNES/GBC/N64/GBA games and sold the cartridges for pennies.

Don’t be me.

Bruh, I had Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Stadium 1/2, Zelda Oot/MM, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64 etc. in perfect condition. I swear my dad kept them all safe, even the manuals, inlays and everything were intact. When I was like 16 years old I wanted to get rid of all my childhood toys and get into adult stuff.

It was like around 2010 when retro gaming really took off. I swore to never collect video games again.

BlindFrog, do games w (PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)?

Mudborne: a frog themed frog-breeding simulator with some frog-breed puzzling to open up paths between islands/dimensions (very extra chill)

Apico: haven’t played it yet, but it’s made by the same devs & revolves about beekeeping
