It's getting warmer. Daylight Savings kicked in. Time for some Spring Cleanup / Spring Purging

I can't think of any electronic boxes I keep just short of the *current iPhone* box whenever it get's a rotation from old/new. The old ones lately I haven't bothered Swappa, etc and end up moving it within the -family-.

Been collecting bands and I have about 50 boxes that I'm going to throw out. I don't ever see myself flipping them ever. No compelling reason to sell it on 'bay, etc. Just ain't worth the time, effort or the -net-. Looking for a voice of reason. Any major compelling reason to keep them

In hindsight, I've trashed alot of my Audio boxes....and have regretted not flattening them and sticking them in the attic.

Regular boxes, yes. Hermès boxes, definitely not! Since they open by lifting up instead of through a side flap, the boxes double as nice storage for the bands for me.

Nah, don’t have any band boxes. They are fairly boring anyway. Even phone boxes I’ve thrown away because there’s nothing extra in them anymore.

I throw away third party bands. I keep first party bands (or anything Apple, actually).

In its case.
Not me. My original band was installed on my AWs5 when I bought it, and I never saw the box. Since then I've started using protective cases on the watch, which usually includes their own band.

Used to keep these things around, but started collecting too many of them so now they go in the trash

Circling back. It's taken I think maybe 2 years since I started collecting and finally got my hands on a mint Hyper Grape with BOX. I purged all my boxes. I kept some of the more rarer ones but I wasn't planning to ever - sell- the bands, so off the boxes went.

This Hyper Grape is like a golden unicorn for me. Haven't come one in this condition till know.
And then I thought about this thread, since it also comes with the Box in which I will probably trash as well.
Just a thread brump
