Having gone on a bit of a good old fashioned ozbargain shopping spree as of late, I have an assortment of product boxes laying around my garage.
Obviously some items are best stored in their box but many aren't. How do my ozbargain fam deal with this conundrum? Do you throw out boxes shortly after you confirm your product works? Or do you throw it out after the warranty period? Interested to see your responses. Cheers

I buy and sell games, phones, electronics or just general peripherals pretty regularly and having the boxes usually makes it easier to pack and offload them.
For some items having the box in good condition will add a lot of value. I used to buy old vintage games from people regularly on marketplace/scumtree and they would hand them over in a plastic bag. Would often find some hidden gems, but their condition would always be less than ideal
Used to keep boxes (for appliancey-tech stuff) in my spare room, until that room became full of boxes and i was like wtf am i keeping them for. so now I just throw out big boxes but will still keep the tech stuff like phone/laptop/chromebook. Good thing I did too as I bought a Duet 5 and had to return it 2.5 weeks later as the keyboard was faulty.
