Do any of you keep your Spyderco boxes?

I have 5 spydies and I've kept the boxes to each one. Any of you do that or do you throw them away?

If you ever plan to resell them you should keep the boxes.

Yep, I keep all the boxes to all my knives. I knew I was heading in the right direction when I needed to make separate storage just for Spyderco boxes haha

I learned a sad lesson years ago with firearms and now I save ALL knife boxes. IMHO , they can add up to 10-20% of the price when you need to resell.

I only keep my boxes because everyone else does. Besides, I can sell them for $10 each...kidding. :D . Im not a big box junkie - basically keep them to keep them - until my drawer runs out of space. Hard to rationalize storage for cardboard and air...

I usually only throw away boxes for the knives I'll "never sell". These are the only ones I have sold and without boxes, haha.

I tend to be picky about keeping things uncluttered and getting rid of things i dont need. However I keep all of my knife boxes, these things are so expensive. Might aswell keep the box to them.

Yeah, I keep all of mine in the attic - I don't plan to sell any of my knives but you never know and, as people have said, it will add some value to the knife. :) Of course, if the knife is a user and the condition is poor then there is not much point in selling it with a box but the box alone is worth something so you can always sell it to collectors :)

I keep all my boxes, if for nothing else but to have the manufacture date code on the boxes for future reference.

As a collector, I keep all of them, even the ones for my users. Although I don't often sell a knife, having the box does add to resale value and, if I'm giving one as a gift, the box makes it easier to warp. Plus, if I do decide to move, the boxes will make packing them all up easier.
