Frank,
You have the right idea! I keep everything as well. Except for the old
plastic bags. I originally did it just to keep track of the sets I had but now
I use them to prove to people that I really do have the sets I say I have even
if they're not built.
Ron, If you seriously want to make some many from these sets having the box is
extremely important. Anyone can throw a set together from other pieces and try
to sell it off for cash. Serious collectors can tell the difference.
Keep the boxes!!!!!! They mean as much as the bricks!!!!
Power on,
Andrew

I take care of inventorying the sets I've bought by cutting the UPC bar code (which contains the set number) from the box before I flatten (...)
