Boxes are also important in re-sale of women’s shoes, purses, and jewelry (‘…comes with original Tiffany box’). I think I read a camera is not graded Like New unless it includes the original box even if the camera itself is pristine.

Which by itself is as weird as it can be. There is no practical and real connection between how someone cares about the equipment and if he throws a box to trash or basement.

I once had a closet full of boxes. Decided not to play that game and got rid of all of them. I just sold a slew of stuff through MPB and they didn’t seem to care about original boxes.

I only keep those ones where it makes sense. For example wooden boxes from big speakers which might be easily damaged during transport thanx to its weight and slippery surface.
