I'm one of those, who saves boxes, saves stickers and tags, ... have receipts for most of my stuff regardless of age (if I can find those).
So what is a box really worth? Is it for the value of saying "I have the original box" which I've never found anybody asking about when they see my gear, ... or for the convenience of storage and shipping?
I see things on evilbay advertised with the boxes and without, not sure the boxes get a premium even on collectible vintage gear. None of the equipment that I've sold with original boxes and documents seemed to get more than "wow, that's cool".
