Kidd Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I've got boxes for my Forte 3 , Heresy 3 and a Primaluna amp . They take up a lot of space . I will sell them some day , maybe sooner than later , I donno . It will be a local sale , I ain't shipping them I know it is in vogue to keep the boxes for some reason Do y'all really keep the boxes or toss them out ??????? I am thinking to toss them , no real reason to keep them , wont help sell them when the time comes What do you all think ? Kidd Quote
bkwa1959 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Keep all of your boxes,having the boxes will be a big help when reselling or moving your system.What Primaluna amp Did you buy. 2 Quote
Kidd Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 Dialogue Premium HP Integrated Amp If I were buying speakers , or what have you , I would not care about the boxes , I'd tell them to toss them for me OTOH , if they ever go into storage , they wont , they'd be sold before storage Thanks Quote
Kidd Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 Here's an idea !! Anyone want to by my boxes ??? I'll pay shipping ! Quote
Moderators dtel Posted August 28, 2019 Moderators Posted August 28, 2019 I never kept any of the boxes, but have no intentions of moving or selling any of the speakers. Only electronic boxes that still have a warranty are kept. Actually the boxes and proper packing material are not cheap, it's kind of surprising how much for something you don't think about much. 1 Quote

Using my kg5.2 and not too impressed , my H3s came today , still boxed , in a couple of days I'll have them replacing the kg5.2 . I may be in the market for a Parasound , just to hear the difference , I may like one over the other , lol Quote
Ceptorman Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Keeping the boxes might say "this guy cared so much for his gear that he kept the boxes". 2 Quote

It definitely does, when buying or selling or just moving original boxes are a big plus, especially for moving safely. 2 Quote
Marvel Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I kept my boxes for my JBL 4211s for over 25 years. Alway was nice to pack them up when I moved. Finally got rid of them and it's been more of a pain to move them. @jwc you got any MWM boxes? 😬 1 1 Quote
Marvel Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 You know, two guys helped me get them on the truck but I ended up unloading them by myself. Whew! Not sure how I managed without going to the hospital. They are crazy big... 1 Quote
JohnJ Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I've always kept boxes for electrical and or expensive things until the warranty expired at least. Kept the Heresy II boxes from 1990 until `04 when my living space could not handle them anymore. It never fails that when kept they're in the way somehow, but I'd need them for something three weeks after putting them in the recycle bin! 2 Quote

Dave1290 Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Keep the PL box the way it is. You'll never get another shipping box made like that again. I was amazed when I opened mine up. You saw how it came to your house. Rather than toss the others why not gently break them down properly, save the innards and put them in a garbage bag n store flat somewhere? Under the bed, stand in a closet, you've got a spot somewhere. Heck stand them in the corners after you break them down and let ppl ask why you have your boxes. Teach brother, teach! Proper boxes ALWAYS help a resale whether local or not.. Airmobility is ALWAYS good cause ya never know what's comin down the road. Enjoy! Quote
Davis Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I just noticed I still have the box to a JVC 26 inch TV I bought 28 years ago. So I vote keep em. 1 Quote
