Time to purge expansion boxes

I've also found that a lot of expansion content is a misfire because it alters what makes a game so attractive in the first place so I have indeed been in the habit of selling just expansions on their own. For example, right now I think I'm going to get rid of the Riverfolk from Root and maybe even the Underworld too because quite frankly the base game was perfectly formed and doesn't need all this extra stuff (other than the Partisan deck which we find more fun than the base game cards).

Maybe a little bit for potential resale (though who sells that stuff separately?), but mostly just because of my completist tendencies. I don’t know why, but today I glanced at the several shelves of empty boxes and just decided that it all needs to go. I mean, I still have the big expansion boxes from BSG. The original Pandemic On The Brink box from when it was new. What a colossal waste of space.
Don't dump the BSG expansion boxes if you think you will ever sell it - while all of BSG is in massive (expensive) demand you will likely get more selling them individually as people build up their already existing game (plus you will actually be helping people by letting more people buy just the expansions they want rather than someone just gets a big bundle whether they want all of it or not ... from experience as a buyer ).
But you are braver than me throwing away boxes ...[mustn't think about it]

ARKHAM HORROR, DUNWICH HORROR, and INNSMOUTH HORROR boxes holding all the small boxes, along with KINGSPORT and MISKATONIC large box expansions. It it tight, but mostly because of the Plano box in there holding all the bits.
MARVEL CHAMPIONS: RISE OF RED SKULL has to stick around because I can't cram any more into the default box without taking out the organizer, and the organizer is helping a lot.
CLASH OF CULTURES: CIVILIZATIONS is still in shrink. I should sell this, right? It's like half an Xbox?

I have most of the FFG Cosmic Encounter expansions, but I tote the game around in just the base game box plus one expansion box to hold all the aliens. Camp Grizzly's base set box with the insert just barely fits everything including the expansions, and I really should toss the awkward retail hanger containers for the expansions. Coma Ward may be a mental institution ripoff of Betrayal at House on the Hill, but I really appreciate that the base set box and insert were designed to hold the expansions.

Though I did think long and hard about making wall art out of those Arkham Horror square boxes, those illustrations were dope.

Gonna have one Star Wars wall (imperial assault boxes) and one AH wall.

I often end up putting the expansion boxes inside the actual box to keep things in order. For example, I use the Terraforming Mars boxes to store the cards and the expansion boxes from Cosmic Encounter store the alien cards. The shallow expansion boxes from Netrunner keep the pieces of Roads & Boats together.
Truth to be told, I like the collecting aspect of game boxes and I hesitate to throw them away. Too many "worthless" videogame cardboard boxes thrown away for me to feel comfortable doing it. And since I haven't had to buy any pointlessly huge expansion packs, it hasn't been an issue
