Do you guys keep the packaging for your figures? I've been collecting larger figures lately, and I'm already feeling it's cumbersome to keep this crap around. I've heard getting rid of the packaging reduces to resale price by 50%. Is that just for the art box, or including the styrofoam and other crap? Have any of you moved your collections without the original boxes? Did the figures take much damage?
I only keep them for my Japanese stuff (which I don't have much of in the first place).
Unless you're certain you're going to sell it soon, or the packaging is something special to you, throw the boxes away. Only the spergiest spergs give a fuck about boxes. They're trash, and there's better ways to store stuff.

>Do you guys keep the packaging for your figures?
Not unless the figure is still in the package.
>I've heard getting rid of the packaging reduces to resale price by 50%.
There's no absolute formula but I'd say it reduces the value closer to 75% of the unopened value.
>Is that just for the art box, or including the styrofoam and other crap?
All the crap. If you're looking for maximum resale value don't even take the figure out of the package.
>Have any of you moved your collections without the original boxes?
Yes.
>Did the figures take much damage?
No. I packed them carefully and transported them myself.
I save the boxes for my bigger guys, like 1/6 scale and my 18" Jaegers and Hellboy. Lately though I'm keeping all of them, especially to keep accessories together, until I can move and unpack.

Judging by your bed also being full of boxes, you're just organizing and cleaning things up, right?
Or are you really edging your way to having a bathroom full of used tampons?

Don't you know you can flatten them?

They're super obvious troll bait.
It's called get a big box, put boxes in said box, and than put big box in attic, garage, or basement
