The strange fashion of collecting boxes of technological products. You do too?

Everything costs in a technological product… even the box. In recent years, the trend of collecting them has grown, and companies know this, which is why they strive to have an ever better design and compete with other products.

In social networks they are organized by communities. According to a report by Xataka, one of the most striking is that of the /r/Appleboxes subreddit, which has more than 5,000 users who share the most unusual packages.

Even on X (Twitter) users show off their collections. Today, according to the report, some boxes are almost museum objects, beyond being practical complements to the product.

And there are several reasons to keep a box. On the one hand, some people hope to resell their products in the future with the box included, which means adding value in the second-hand markets. It is also useful for returning products due to warranty. Others do it for sentimental value.

But there are also economic reasons. Collectors often resell on platforms like Wallapop or on eBay, where there is high demand. Even a user on Twitter reported that he was able to sell a GPU box for $80 on eBay.
