It's always sensible to keep the boxes for the stuff you're currently using. If you sell something, it'll fetch a better price with the original box. If you give it away, the recipient will also appreciate it more. Just make sure to throw out the boxes from stuff you haven't had around in ten years. Don't ask me how I know.

    This.

    Also useful for warranty/returns.

    For larger items like TVs, there's specialized packing material, which if used correctly, can better protect the TV from damage during a house move.

    There's a lot of good reasons to keep this stuff.... Just, put it in a closet somewhere and forget about it. Every time you add anything to the collection, go through what you have and throw out any boxes for things you no longer own. Maybe they were damaged, maybe they were stolen, who knows, but if you're adding to the pile, something can very likely be taken away from the pile too.
