Is PAD a thing?

[sev-8]

Looking around home, I seem to have Packaging Acquisition Disorder (or packaging hoarding at least). Can't throw away bubble wrap, boxes or jiffy bags just in case I sell all of my gear in the near future. I know that I won't use all of it, but can't decide what will be most useful so I keep it all.

At least PAD is cheap, but any way to treat it?

I do the same. Probably not much help....

 

[Holyzeus]

Ha ha, every now and again I have a clear out

 

[Stonec0ld]

Yeah Im the same, must be a thing. Now if my wife gets something delivered in a box I think would be good to send shave gear in Ill nab that too

I aways keep any packaging materals that I get with anything I've bought, when I sell stuff I reuse as much as I can, it's good for the planet! Recycle Recycle Recycle!

I get that, but I buy way more than I sell

I will give you a shout if I'm running low P.

I also keep it for selling stuff.
You can always put in something like freecycle.
It will then get used. There are generally people out there after that sort of thing.
Reuse, reuse, reuse.

The problem with PAD is when you start ordering €400 razors for the packaging

 

[donnie_arko]

Yep, I do the same thing.

Aside from keeping boxes for shaivng creams/soaps (why on earth would I need it ever again? I still keep it though!) I have a few packagings for some guitars I bought and I think with one guitar/the boxes that it will be shipped with I will become the crazy lady with cats but with guitars/shaving stuff instead.

So if you ever see a hoarders tv programme where the hoarder looks like the shaven love child of an Ewok & Chewbacca you'll know it's me.

 

[Rowlers]

Yeah me too... I've got a box full in the garage. It needs to go...

 

[Cheesepiece]

Same here. Tonnes of packaging in the roof space, big moving house style boxes and then more useable sized boxes in shed with bubble wrap and other packing.

You guys are weird.
Sorry.

You guys are weird.
Sorry.

Weeeell, according to this thread - very scientific, don'tchaknow - you might be the weird one as everyone else who's responded is affected by PAD too

They make TV shows about you people!
