When you buy electrical equipment like a phone or a console or a tablet or whatever

Still have the box for basically every electrical appliance I’ve ever bought and it would pain me not to have.

In the last six months I’ve done a double flat move - finally gave up one in UK and moved in with my gf here - and there were two items I was ashamed not to be able to pack appropriately.

  • 40 year old Pioneer amp I inherited from my dad
  • GameCube I bought from my pal because she was planning to boot sale it.

Ah. But not phones because they’re disposable tools.

Going to recycle all of these boxes when I move. Definitely.

if I can be arsed

your housemate loved that box and his loyalty would not be swayed by external factors. i respect it so much

I keep a lot of boxes for if I move or whatever but I almost always throw away the inner packaging so it’s a bit pointless :thinking:

Noticed my MacBook box in the wardrobe earlier and pondered whether to get rid, or keep in case I have to sell it. Still not sure what to do tbh
