Hang on to them!
I know that this suggestion is against, what I percieve to be, the
happy-go-lucky, building's-all-we-care-about attitude that flavours the
LUGNET community. I'm not an evil "Collector's Edition" tyrant, I just
think that a little bit of hoarding can be rewarding. (Sounds like a Jacob
Marley & Co. jingle!)
Compared to the actual LEGO, boxes and instructions are not important, but
when it comes to actually throwing them out I just remember two basic rules
of collecting:
1. The things you think are worthless now are more likely to become
valuable, because;
2. The more people throw them away, under the perception that they are
worthless, the fewer there are left.
You might never get any money for them but think how sad it would be if
somebody decided to collect LEGO boxes and all you could do was tell them
about all the cool ones you recycled.
So I guess if you've got the room, unlike baseball cards, old comics or
original Levi's they might just be worth leaving under your bed.

| I am getting buried under empty set boxes. Yet I am reticent to throw them away for some reason. Right now I cut up the small ones and store them in the larger ones. Unfortunately, I am running out of space to store the large ones too. (Actually I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.storage)
