Curious how many of you that have purchased NIB pins keep the original box and packaging??? Curious if it may add value if I decide to ever sell... Like so many other things collectible the original box and packaging typically add value. Would like to know opinions if this translates to Pinball machines. 
The box is only valuable if you leave the pin in it. I recycle mine personally and give it another life as toilet paper or something.
I kept the boxes from my Tron LE and WoZ, but I don't know why. I really need to recycle them because they're just taking up space.
The boxes for other machines I've bought in the past turned into cardboard forts for the kids and were then tossed.
Quoted from Mank:Not mine. Slammed on the breaks when passing a neighbor’s house and saw this
Did you go knocking on the door or peek in the windows??? 
Good lord no. Cut it up, toss it.
If you have space to keep a big, useless, empty box that will provide zero future benefit to anyone but some fort building kids I'm super envious of your space! 
Shipped a few pins out in recycled stern boxes. Last time it was a WWE pro box and customer almost didnt except delivery, true story. Hes calling me at work saying he has wrong delivery, very mad.Trust me, take the box and open it, its your Taxi!!!

Meh. It's just a Star Wars pro. 
I used to enjoyRich Hall and his sniglets. I don’t think many people remember them.
No need to keep the box once you take the game out. Waste of space. Used games are bought on condition. The box has no value. The only time a box is important is if you buy a new game to sit on it and sell later IF the value goes up.
For my GoT I kept the front side of the box with the stamps on it. The rest was recycling. I figure if I have to fold up the game it will work as a nice spacer between the glass and backbox.
