Well, you should keep some of them…but again, you can just get new ones at IKEA or any place they sell furniture related things.

I keep the latest stuff. Always an easy sell for CPU parts. Never toss the current boxes.

Hope didn’t set those at curbside for everyone to see house might be broken into in next week.

I’m happy for you but I didn’t expect this kind of personal attack today.

Box hoarding is an insidious condition. It just sits there in your mind, plotting the destruction of human and cat kind. For some strange reason you never know you have it until one day you are unable to enter a room that’s full of boxes. The normal reaction to this is a heavy sigh and a loud Aw-Shit.

Please tell me you put them all back in your house. Right? Right?

But…but…but…I might need one. Perfect size for Christmas presents. (I also hold onto crap – it’s hard to let go. I joke I’m storing fuel for funeral pyre)

The PC case boxes make excellent moving boxes for the pcs…since they are the exact dimensions.

😱 How could you?! Lol! I, literally, can not throw my boxes out, esp pc part boxes. You know what doesnt help? Seeing people on ebay, and other sites, selling the “box only”. Just makes it seem like there is even more value in keeping them. 🤦♂️

Yeah after I moved I did the same thing imagine this x 7 computers, ps5 and both series x and s oh not to mention the damn meta quest no one plays

I just tossed my mountain of boxes in the dumpster today! Condensed all the useful stuff into one box. When you do that, you never have to wonder which box it’s in. Good job!

Only box I keep are the ones for the PC case (transportation) and GPU (transportation) but I toss everything else out. I also hope you crushed those boxes before tossing out.

Keeping them get off my lawn…

NO. You just put the small boxes in the big box and pack it in the basement. You never know when you will need it again.

This is an advertisement home invasions, I hope you flattened em
I will keep the PC case boxes if you move out one day

Sigh. I’m doing this next week. Between gun parts and computer pieces, and an iPhone box for a phone I haven’t had in years I just found…it’s time.

Might be a red flag if your neighbour casually asks when you plan to leave for holidays this year and for how long…

Case boxes hold all the component boxes in that build. Case boxes hold computer when moving, GPU boxes hold gpus when moving. Unpack, everything goes back in the case box. Rinse repeat. Fan boxes and small components/peripherals you can toss.

After getting into cars/tools, part boxes become very mundane. Mostly a race to see the part and find the sticker, after that in the bin it goes!

Pshh I don’t have an addiction, I can stop collecting boxes anytime I want. I just love these boxes though. I need them!

The only ones I hang on to are GPU and motherboard boxes, when it comes to PC components.
Other than that, I too have managed to start throwing away my boxes.
(I did the same thing OP did: I held onto just about every box of any item over a certain price)
neffbomber
I have this same problem except a lot of my boxes still have stuff in them and if they don’t I always keep them for when I sell an item I have the box to go with it.
TheGoldenDobby
I’m glad you were able to get over your addiction. I throw out what I know I will keep for 3 to 5 years such as PC cases or other items like monitors but all of the smaller stuff that I resell, the boxes definitely make it sell much quicker
