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...

You should always keep the original packing even though it can be a pain to reserve the space.

Most  manufacturers pride themselves in supplying packing that will protect their products on multiple transits.  Martin Logan excepted whose packing for CLX Anniversaries fell apart after a few transits.

I keep all the packing except the ML which I had to trash.

Message to ML: you need to upgrade when packing $30k speakers.

Having the original boxes makes selling and shipping much easier.

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.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all of insightful responses.  I will speak with my wife... ;-)

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.
