Do you guys also keep all your Spyderco boxes ?
Do you guys also keep all your Spyderco boxes ?
I have a favorite old uncle that used to get a lot of freindly grief for keeping original boxes to nearly all of his toys, but now we know that the original box can greatly increase the value of some older items ( G.I. Joes,etc.etc.).
Though that's unlikely to really come into play anytime soon with most of these particular toys, I've still been keeping all of my Spydie boxes.
Other than these, I've only kept the original boxes that a couple rifles have come in, since they'd be ideal if I had to ship them back because of a warranty issue.
But I'm not sure why I've kept these. I know they can be a small plus in case of a re-sale, but not really much of a value enhancer, I wouldn't think.
Anyway, I thought it a bit odd, yet I suspect I'm hardly alone, but I'm kinda curious ( and wasting time till the relates all show up. :D . )

Yes, I'd considered this benefit,as well, but for got to mention it.
Maybe I shoulda made this a poll, looks like nearly 90% for keeping them.

Yep, got all the boxes for every knife ever bought. All my knives are in the display cases so I don't have to dig through the boxes to get the one I need. The boxes are there because once in a while I can get really generous (after a few glasses of scotch) and can give one of them as a gift to close friends (not the EDC`s obviously), so the box is there for this purpose.

I keep all the boxes just in case I ever want to sell one (or give one away) - that way I have the original box and paperwork. Might not add to the value, but at least it will reassure the potential recipient that it is a genuine article. I do this for all my knives. My box collection actually takes up a lot more space than my knife collection!
Black side up means the box is occupied, red side up means the box is empty. :)

I have saved my boxes but I find that all they are doing is taking up space in my apartment. Eventually I might reach a point where I will end up tossing them. Maybe tear off the bar / UPC code on the end & put in a 3-ring binder for informational purposes.
