What do you do with old boxes?

[7kingsguy]

So I have been keeping all my old cigar boxes from the last 5 years and I now have a huge pile sitting under my bed. I just wondered if anyone here:

a) has a good way to get rid of them without binning
b) has managed to make a few quid by selling them, as I know they are sold on sites like cgars. Are they actually worth anything?

I really need to get rid of mine as I have about 30 now just taking up masses of space.

I see a lot of them on Ebay if you fancy that route

Mrs takes the ones she likes and uses them as storage boxes for her art supplies other than that just throw them to one side

I use them for display in the man cave , gives it an authentic look / feel

He could make a man cave with that many boxes!

Ironically I bought some from online yesterday to line my new humidor build.

I tried listing on ebay a while back, but it got taken down because it had cuban products... turns out that because ebay is american, even if it is sold here they cant have it on their site.

I have given it another go by just saying assorted boxes, with no mention of brands or country...

Because I want them to collect...
Plus it costs a lot to post a big heavy box, and buy a big box.

Cigar box clocks, I've seen people fix a basic clock in to the box lid. Hey presto you have a Cuban cigar box clock.

[smokey joe]

the better art on the lids would make a great decoration for the wall, framed in sets for example.

I have 15 boxes with various amounts of cigars on a console/ shelf for decoration, like Wolfie's mancave.

Just to let you know, ebay have taken down my bloody auction, because you aren't allowed to list cuban products. Plenty of other people doing it on there, and I didnt even mention country of origin, but there you go.

If anyone is interested in a bulk lot of boxes, please do let me know. I have 30 odd boxes including Partagas, Bolivar, Por Laranaga, Rafael Gonzalez, Cuaba, Cohiba Maduro, Chinchalero, Oliva, Carlos Torano, Dutch boxes like Oud Kampen.

I dont want to send individual ones, but if anyone wants a load for a project or something, let me know and we can sort something out. I dont want much for them, just want them out the house and not taking up the space. If you are in London we could even avoid shipping as I drive all over for business.
