What To Do, What To Do.......

[Joe Handley]

WHile going through my stuff to sell, I discovered I have way to many empty model boxes, what do you guys do with yours when done with them? These will probably go in the recycling come friday.

[Darrell Gwinn]

I just fold mine so they are flat then stick them all in one big box.

I'd jump off a bridge, but there aren't any high enough around here.

I just keep a few for spare parts, but otherwise toss em.

The aircraft ones with real nice art work I keep, but flatten them out.

I also fold them and put them in another box.

Thanks guys, I'e already got several parts boxes, these are just extras in a huge box....and then some.

I always have extra kits in plastic zip-lock bags and use the empty boxes for them and make a small ID mark on the box end of whats in it. I use the rare kit boxes for display in the model room and after years of collecting & building them, I got one good looking wall full of empty old AMT kit boxes!

I cut the sides off and make a montage of the box tops and instruction sheets on any available wall space in my hobby room. Looks really cool and doesn't take that much room since it's on the wall. That, and I get to look at them and remember the build. Actually, on some of them, the box is all I have left as the kits have long ago vanished to little brothers and lost friends...

[RJWood]

Sell em on ebay.

I've seen them sell for $10.00 sometime.

[Kombi]

I recycle them. Right in the bin.

I will admit that there's a few that I probably would like to have kept, but that feeling usually passes pretty quickly when I think about storing something else. (a small house requires a critical assessment of what is and is not kept. )

BON FIRE

thats what i do

[James Flowers]

I cut the end panel off the box and keep it and instructions. They have helped me out alot when I buy off e-bay.

[Joe Handley]

I'd thought about putting them in the garage sale for free, but didn't think that would get rid of any of them. Most of them are just the plain, kinda boring boxes from the past 15 years. I'll probably flatten them tonight for the recycling truck to pick up friday.
