There are some very good comments here. I keep the boxes for only one reason -- when I can afford to move, I will have something in which to pack the lighthouses.

No other reason, because I never intend to sell any of them. They are much too valuable and meaningful to me.

If I should ever be forced to move into a home for the physically and/or mentally challenged, the walls of my room will be lined with my lighthouses.

After that, I guess it doesn't make much difference.
