Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?

If you try and ship the gear in anything but the original packaging and something is damaged, it is really hard to sustain a claim from the shipping company.  Even with original packing these companies deny claims.  It is getting worse with time.

I’ve heard of companies wanting $200 for replacement boxes and packaging, so it is worth trying to find a place to keep that stuff.

I live in an apartment, and don't have much space to keep the original boxes.  I sold my last pair of speakers and subwoofer on eBay, but for local pickup only.   I don't think it's worth it for me to rent storage space just to store the boxes.

Agree with all of the above

If you get rid of the boxes you are possibly restricted to local buyers, which might be OK

Original boxes are all about getting maximum protection for shipping. Nothing hand made can mold to the specific equipment quite as well. Hence the value of it if you plan on selling it down the road.

Having the original box and packing materials from my vantage point are important from selling or buying standpoints. I keep all of mine, but I have room to do so. I don’t generally buy used gear but if I do  and the seller doesn’t have the originals I pass. What someone thinks suffices for internal packaging vs what the manufacturer does to limit possible damage can be 2 very different things
