I always keep my boxes. They are add resale value and are great for shipping after the sale.
That may be true for eBay, but I sell computers on Craigslist (so I don't need to ship) and have never had someone ask if I had the original box.
It's true for Craigslist too.
If I put two identical computers for sale at a flat price, with the only difference being one includes all of the original packaging and the other one doesn't, I guarantee the one with the packaging will sell first. In an auction the one with boxes will receive more views and result in a higher sale.
Boxes give a "like new" feel.
