Question: Do you keep your pedal boxes after getting a new pedal?

[mikesr1963]

Why? Because I've got a shitload and I want to throw them away. Had a guy at the guitar store once tell me when I was buying a used pedal that you know it was cared for because it's in the box. I laughed out loud in his face. So why do I have all these freaking boxes?

I keep them in case I sell them but I am a pedal flipping whore.

I buy mostly used, so I rarely ever see the box.

I'm happy.

That's me too. When I buy used I don't care if it has a box or not and I sure as hell don't pay extra for it.

 

[Chad]

I only buy used. Most folks sell with the box these days.

Me too.

 

[baimun]

Always. I don't flip them thaaaaat much, but when I do, I feel the original packaging makes them sell better.

I keep them to put my Pokemon cards in.

 

[Grant Gross]

I keep them for six months, until I get sick of them lying around and then send them to the recycling bin.

The Gear Page?

It’s much easier to sell a used pedal if I can post a photo of the pedal, with the box, to Craigslist. And people haggle less, because they assume if I keep boxes I’m not some transient musician who needs money for weed.

The Gear Page?

yes, those nitwits pay $5-10 more for a pedal with the box.

 

[Modern Saint]

I keep all of the boxes on my new purchases. No boxes on the used ones though.
