I understand saving Certificates of Authenticity but I have never understood saving boxes and packaging. How much does the packaging really add to the value of the lighthouse itself? I don't ever forsee selling my lighthouses but still I find myself saving the boxes after I have found that other collectors do. When your collection starts growing the boxes and styrofoam packaging begin to take up alot of space!
Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Oh,oh, Doc... Just checked your profile (click on the sunglasses). Now Lighthouses, I can UNDERSTAND, but BEANIE BABIES?????

LOL. Welcome to the forums. The subject of boxes and peanuts and styrofoam inserts got a good going over a while back, but it dropped off the list of "last 30 days" postings up under "General" Forum.

Here's a link to review what was said. You're welcome to continue that old thread - just post a reply to it and it will pop back up on the 'current' list. Or use this one to share ideas on the subject.
