Do you keep the original box and packaging of your pens?

yes I keep everything, they can be recycled and used for a lot of things

Hello,

I don't own many pens, and most of those I do own are 10 a penny pens of very little value (I still cherish them though), so there really isn't any value in keeping the boxes, as the majority of my pens are in a large pen case (capable of holding 48 pens) and I have no intention of selling.
That said, I now know what I wish to do, by way of pen collecting. I intend to collect a specific vintage pen brand, and from a buying perspective, I would like to have original boxes wherever possible, but I wouldn't say no to buying a pen in 'bubble wrap' as long as the pen was nice.

I keep the boxes of my more notable (expensive, vintage, special edition, or nice box) pens. But I have some that should probably disappear. I did NOT keep one of those new Conklin boxes that had white "satin" and looked like a coffin.

Keeping most boxes and paperwork is a plus if the time comes to sell the pen.

LOL about the coffin box quote. The boxes did come in handy when I sent the pen to Yafa for repairs.
