For some reason I have saved all of the boxes my various and assorted long arms were in at the time of purchase. Over the years I have bought a lot of guns out of pawnshops as well. No used gun I have ever bought has had a box. Am I wasting my time and storage space by keeping these bulky boxes or is having the box a value adder? None of these are exotic, they are just utility guns, think Remington 870, Mossberg 22.
