Boxes

Hi,

Over the years I have kept most, but not all, of the original-equipment boxes that came with my gear.  With that being said, I recently upgraded my speakers and plan to re-sell my older speakers. 

Q - Do the original speaker-boxes have value to potential buyers (for retail outlets? for over-seas markets? other?)

Thanks in advance for any insight...

I tried to get original replacement boxes for some ATC 19 speakers and the distributor said they sell them for about $300 for a set because they come assembled only and not flat from England.  Really?  Keep the boxes.

I've kept all of my boxes for my current system---I have a few boxes from my vintage system (>30 years old). I wish I had ALL the boxes from my vintage system so I'd say keep them if you can. You can always break them down to save space.

I prefer to buy from sellers who have the original boxes. Buying used equipment is always a gamble and having the original shipping container eliminates at least one of many concerns for me. Others may or may not agree, but I'm only concerned with my purchase comfort.
