Moderators dtel Posted August 28, 2019 Moderators Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Keeping the boxes might say "this guy cared so much for his gear that he kept the boxes". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely does, when buying or selling or just moving original boxes are a big plus, especially for moving safely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted August 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted August 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 28, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1290 Posted August 28, 2019 Share 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!
