To Be Recycled

ByFaris

In a post about a week ago, I mentioned that I was selling empty boxes online (at the suggestion of ChatGPT, I must add). It turned out that no one bought it. I remember years ago someone did buy an empty Apply product, but I guess nowadays it is not that important anymore to have a box. Plus there are various second hand electronics shops, online or offline, that sells these electronics without a box.

Even I bought my phone second hand online from a reseller, and I didn’t mind that there was no box. They still shipped the device in a box, only not an iPhone box. To be honest, the generic box was easier to open than an original iPhone box, not that an iPhone box is hard to open at all. It does miss the ‘unboxing’ experience but for that 10 seconds feeling in relative to 2-3 years of using the phone itself, the word fleeting is more than generous to describe it.

Anyway, I will be recycling the empty boxes now. Time to get back my space, and sanity.
