Just cleaned out mt garage, closet, and attic. No clue why I kept every single box of anything electronic/tech based in the last ten years. I just tossed boxes for phones I haven’t had in years, old CPU and heat sync boxes, boxes for 100mbps nics, old modems I don’t have anymore. I’ve never needed any of these and have brought them with me through too many house moves.

      That’s totally fair.

      I recently bought a house and felt like I could toss my TV boxes. I still kept my 4k monitor boxes.

      I moved last year and tossed a bunch of boxes. But those that I kept and used in the move were for my most expensive electronics and I’m glad I did. As usual, the packaging that can withstand shipping halfway around the world was a perfect match against the somewhat incompetent movers that I hired. Mistakes were made, but none of my gear was damaged.
