I have all my boxes inside another larger box. Not sure if I can get another thing because there is no room left in the larger box....unless I get a larger larger box then I'm all set.
What does everyone do with their gold [Nikon] boxes?

For the time being, my boxes and problems stay in the closet (top shelf).

Hey super shooter your right that SNL skit was awsome! My best friend got married in 2007 and for his stag he had to walk around the Whistler BC area bar and club hopping wearing nothing but a t-shirt and an actual hand made dick in the box around his waist! haha it was halarious! We got some great shots from that night :)

Mine get thrown away, well recycled. I dont have a plan on selling my equipment in the near future and the money the boxes bring in are not worth the storage space. I do have my 105 box, it holds odd and ends.

Step One: Cut a hole in the box
Step Two: Put your junk in that box
Step Three: Make her open the box... and that's the way you do it!I'm going to need a bigger box :^)
So you guys keep the boxes just to resell your gear later? Makes sense since most of you "upgrade" every six months! ;^D

I only keep my first two boxes from 1989: Nikon 8008 and Nikon 50 1.8
Now I have 3 film cameras, 2 digital cameras, 14 lenses plus teleconvertes, 3 flashes...
I trow the box away as soon as I check the camera or lens is working ok.
I haven't sell a camera or lens. Once bougth used lens, but without original box.

So I was looking through my drawer for some old cookin gel filters and noticed I still have the boxes for some filters that fit lenses I sold over 10 years ago. I think I will recycle the boxes, but I'm keepin the filters.

Hooray! I've "solved" the Nikon box dilemma! I put them all in plastic shopping bags and threw them into our previously asbestos-filled attic! Although it's very small, and really only serves as a crawlspace for the heating ducts, I've shoved some other equipment's boxes, and a full-sized, shoulder-mount ENG camera case in there as well--boy, was THAT ever always in the way (we performed an asbestos abatement a few months ago, but still no one wants to go up there).

I have stacks of them taking up space all over the house. Just cannot bear to through them out. Somehow I value them so much simply because I love the contents that used to be in the box! Doesn't really make sense, just an emotional reaction.

Doesn't really make sense, just an emotional reaction.Me too! It's totally irrational, since I'm not planning on selling any of the items that came in those boxes. Some of the used lenses I've purchased on Ebay came with their original boxes. Some, possibly 10 to 20 years old, and they were still in mint condition. To think someone saved that bit of Nikon history for so long . . . I just can't bear to throw them out.

Our irrational attachment to Nikon boxes tells you something: how much emotion we feel for Nikon camera's and lenses. I always tell my wife (who worries about getting old and physically unattractive) that as long as she gives me good feelings I will feel good about her no matter how she looks.
