Never!

It helps remind me that it was a significant, luxury purchase and I know just how much effort went into the designer should be appreciated

I like to keep the boxes of everything I ever bought and I hope that triggers him.

You can also sell it on eBay. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

Done! Now what do I do about the closet full of Amazon boxes?

Makes a really effective DIY monitor hood when you're using an old phone as an external monitor for your video camera.

I admit that's probably a use case for the few of us that can't afford good filming gear. But finding DIY solutions is fun.

It took me a few years to throw out the many boxes from building my PC. It of course made sense for a while for warranty reasons, but at some point...

I still have one C-64 and 1541 drive in their original boxes. :p

I use mine to prop my window open because it’s an old window that doesn’t stay open on its own.

Not a millennial but I guess I did need to hear this

At this point I think my OG Droid box is almost a family heirloom.

I usually use my phones until the battery has noticeably degraded, so there's no market for whatever remains. I have two phones lying on my desk as backup in case the migration to the respective new one doesn't work. It's been years since my last upgrade.

The boxes lie next to the phones. They're not even inside the box.

I'd have to find it first. I mean, it's probably here somewhere.

I have the boxes for any electronics still in my possession. This is because very rarely can you find information from the piece/part itself, and you need the box/manual that came with it.

This post is generally bad advice. If you throw everything away, you are at the mercy of a Google search for any information you may need.

Millennial? Gen X'er here. I have the box for every piece of electronics or appliance, and I have an extremely limited amount of space. If you like to resell things when you no longer need them it really helps.

Is this the OCD support group?

No.

I'd say keep a few boxes for second hand shipping and storing things but otherwise just toss everythting. A single phone box is fine imo but more is pointless

I get a better deal if i resell it with his original box.

I used a cardboard once. This justify everything for ever

I threw out most all of mine. I say most because I found about 6 more in a box somewhere else and got stunlocked at the sight of them. The memory of throwing out the others... what have I done...?

I think I have every phone box since my original Galaxy Nexus in 2011. :(

I use it to hold my old phone that I'll never use but just in case

You're not my dad!
