Do you keep all of the boxes/cases for your handguns?

[CandG]

This is the route I was thinking. I only have a few more valuable guns. But let's be honest, is the Glock case necessary to take up storage? I don't think I'll ever sell my higher priced firearms. A Glock, maybe.. they all get put in to individual small soft cases in the safe. Any of the tools and booklets get put in a bag in a drawer, and DROS gets filed in a folder. Think I'm getting rid of the cheesy cases and boxes

Maybe save 1 glock case for if you ever need to mail one somewhere for service, but there's no reason to keep a dozen of them around IMO

If you want to maximize that - throw the cases for sale on eBay or in the classifieds.. .I guarantee you they will sell. Maybe not for much but it's better than tossing them.

I usually keep all my boxes, but my wife threw some out. She did not understand how an old dusty box brings the overall pricing up on a collector.

I should throw away the boxes of her LV bags.

I keep mine in case they need to be sent in for warranty work. Kept in the attic.

This. I even kept the box my M1A came in "just in case...". I find that if I ever do sell a firearm (not that often), the original box is often asked for. Also, many of my handguns came with small accessories (like my S&W model 15-4 which came with a sight adjust screwdriver) and the box/case is a good place to store these.

Value, in case I ever need to sell. People who keep all the stuff tend to maintain their firearms better.

[VictorFranko]

Yes, keep all.
When selling, people really like getting everything that came with the gun originally.
I also keep the window sticker from a new car and the sales brochure from the dealership and give it to the buyer of the car when I sell. People just love getting it.

tossed em
i don't intend to sell and don't have a need.
store all the included bits and pieces that came with each firearm.

[Carcassonne]

I still have the cases/boxes for most of my pistols that came with cases/boxes. All my cardboard rifle boxes have been tossed in the trash.

[Wordupmybrotha]

I kept the pistol cases and boxes, but tossed the rifle boxes, except for few that I might sell later.

Rifle boxes take up too much room and leaves evidence for prying eyes.

[Calif Hunter]

I keep my handgun boxes and most of my rifle/shotgun boxes, too. Mainly just in case I sell them and for my heirs when I am gone as I keep the manuals and warranty cards in the boxes.

In 2016, I bought 53 handguns. So far in 2017, I've bought 25 handguns in the past two months. I've got so many cases, I had get a storage room.

[Barang]

Plastic I keep but not cardboard.

I agree. But I never planned on getting divorced either.

I agree. But I never planned on getting divorced either.

When I got a divorce, that when I was finally able to start adding guns to my collection!
