I was wondering what the communities thoughts are on keeping the original cardboard boxes & plastic handgun cases that the firearms originally come in? (I am currently using them to compile an inventory complete with accurate model numbers, and descriptions found on SN tag.) I have amassed quite a pile of both cardboard and plastic cases (along with gun locks, supplied cleaning kits, etc...) that like most people, I do not use to transport the firearms in, and are just taking up valuable space in my storage areas. I told myself that they will come in handy when I move, and need to transport my collection safely, but last time I moved it was easier and quicker to just wrap stuff in blankets and towels. (So I ended up moving the empty boxes at another time.) Then I figured that if I sold something, it would be worth more with all of the original packaging and accessories, but the few times that I have sold or traded, I got what I was asking for, and the person never even questioned about the box. Other than a couple of "commemorative" items, does it really add anything to the value?
