 | | Should I Save the Boxes? —Dan Hennings
|
| | | Greetings! I have saved most of the boxes from sets I have purchased new, but now I am running out of room. I'm not exactly sure why I saved them in the first place. I don't want to get rid of them if there is a logical reason to save them. What do (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

|
| | | | | (...) Trust me on that, any used set you're trying to sell will see its value increased by a good 40% solely because of the box, even in bad shape. If you have the boxes of sets 6335, 1496 and 1497, I will buy them from you immediately! Boxes are (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

|
| | | | | | | (...) I would tend to disagree. My perception from when I was heavily bidding on eBay was that a box has only a small effect on set value (discounting MISB sets here). The way I saw it, the primary reasons a box increased value was: 1. the set may (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | (...) Why would anyone want to sell a used LEGO set? :) Seriously, to offer another point of view... I have many of the boxes and instructions from my childhood sets. Some of these are now more than 27 years old. However, many of those sets also (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) Well from all the sets I got as a child, I don't have any boxes left. Right now I only save old boxes (pre-1995 for me) as well as boxes of specific themes I really collect. I am about Adventurers-complete, so I save all those boxes. Same for (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)

| | | | (...) I'm do the as you. I break down all the boxes that I can and store them flat. I really don't know why I keep them, as I never intend to sell my collection either. I think it's partly sentimentality and partly my just being a packrat, unwilling (...) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.storage)
