Hi Olli,
I tend to keep equipment boxes, not because of any collectible value
(which I agree is non-existent for digital gear, it is only relevant
for otherwise collectible stuff like Leica). But if I should sell the
item, then it makes it a lot easier to ship the equipment, and I am
sure that the phrase "all original packaging" does give a prospective
buyer a feeling that I have looked after the equipment.
