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
Resist doing it. Major pain in the neck to figure out- and to purchase enormous amounts of packing material- and not having the factory boxes makes shipping them virtually impossible. So, you're then left with only being able to sell them very locally. It's practically worth keeping them in storage somewhere.
