Me too... my other half hates that less than my collection though as she thinks it means the collection might get smaller! :lol:

Do it all the time

Especially the ones that have polystyrene packaging in them, that you can cut down to shape :wink:

Just off to the tip from the Crimbo packaging detritus, my wife always checks around for any boxes I have stashed :lol:

I work in a warehouse.

Past week I've been stacking used boxes and bubblewrap everyday just in case I someday learn what I am doing in the Vintage SW universe. Glad I am not alone.

I'm a nightmare, I keep any bubble wrap, jiffy bags, decent boxes that stuff comes in. You just never know when you might sell something and need packaging!!!

Oh, you keep it for when you sell something...
I just hord it like I do Star Wars stuff :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah I often find something useful, not so much this year thou, as anything I can get rid of that the rest of the family agree on is out the front door before you can say 'that might be useful'.

Then today my wife decides that the jumper I brought doesn't suit her. (Which I was suprised by seen as she already has 10 identical jumpers hanging up in her wardrobe.). Anyway I lobbed all the return forms out in the recycling, so had to sift through 3 sacks of wrapping paper before I found it!

Nothing more satisfying than pulling out a nice box that will perfectly suit that item you sold. Nothing worse than scratching around for packaging, especially when your as a anal as I am about doing a good job on everything from a loose beater to a £1000 moc.

I had to get strict and throw out loads of boxes and filling. I have no intention of selling anything, yet was hording several boxes, a black bin liner full of packing nuts, and several newspapers.

I find myself looking at my kids freshly opened toy boxes and thinking just one word... "inserts".

On Boxing Day 1983, we were throwing out packaging and on its way to a black bag I noticed that the insert to the Star Destroyer playset had to unadvertised figure stands stuck to it. I was delighted I caught them but assumed I've probably missed them on every other disgarded Star Wars insert in the past.

I was glad to find out decades later that I didn't miss anything. Well, apart from the boxes which I willingly threw away because I was a young fool.

I always save boxes too . lol
