    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.

    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.
