Do you save your Mac boxes?

[0098386]

The smaller ones yes. Got all my iPod boxes, and them crappy in-ear earphones I was stupid enough to buy.

I keep the bags too in the UK (dunno about anywhere else) you get drawstring bags, like what sports shops give you. They're great for sticking in stuff on bike rides or adventures.

Only iMac/Book Pro boxes because of Warranty/Repair or I might sell them/upgrade.

I used to keep little things like iPod or other small accessories but thought it was getting ridiculous. LOL

 

[SkyBell]

I have

Mac mini box.
iPod+HP 4G Box
iPod 5.5 G Box.
1G Shuffle Box (Somewhere...haven't seen it for a while)

 

[Vuzie]

Ahhh... where was this thread when I was moving. My friends helped me pack and were honestly appalled at all the original boxes from my electronics (apple and otherwise). People are going to have to pry my MBP box from my cold dead hands.

And josh.... you could build a fort/room with all those boxes!

 

[The Mad Kiwi]

Am I the only person here who believes rubbish belongs in the bin?

 

[mattcube64]

I always keep boxes for more expensive items. i.e. Computers, wireless equipment, consoles, handhelds, monitors, etc...

My Apple boxes:

A shot I took from under my bed several months ago... it's much messier now:

 

[spencers]

i only keep the boxes of products that I may sell later on

 

[rev316]

Yup.

 

[zephead]

Am I the only person here who believes rubbish belongs in the bin?

Nope, I too believe rubbish belongs in the bin. The thing is, we don't consider our boxes as rubbish.

 

[wngraham]

I've got my Macbook box, iMac box, iPod 3G box, iPod Nano box, TV box, iLife & iWork '06 boxes, .mac box, Airport Extreme and Airport Express boxes, Mighty Mouse and wireless keyboard boxes...

So yeah, I keep 'em

 

[kymac]

how could someone throw them away? ]:

 

[Marky_Mark]

Yep, that's why I keep my boxes. You don't get as much without them.

And me - somehow a pristine original box raises the tawdry business of selling second hand goods up a level.

 

[Macmadant]

A powermac G4
