Break it down, fold it flat, store it. They're handy when you move. Shipping tape to set them back up and seal them for the move.
Just don't hoard. If you don't have space or you have more than you need, trim your stash down.
Yes, but how many do you need? I can't say I'd need more than 1 empty box most of the time, but when I need more than one I curse my inability to leave random empty boxes lying around
It's not about what I need in the moment, It's about what will be useful in the future. I hoard stuff but I keep it to designated areas. If it gets to the point that it's breaching containment, then some things have to go to make room. Things like good cardboard I tend to use more often than I receive them, especially since I stopped using amazon as much as possible (and amazon stopped using boxes in a lot of cases even before that). So I hang onto it until I have so much that it exceeds the spot between my two desks that I keep it in. I also have a healthy supply of hardware, crafting supplies, cables, computer parts, and general electronics that comes in handy all the time. If I have something break I generally have whatever I need on hand to get back up and running again. At least as a temporary solution until I can get parts or whatever.
A bigger issue for me is stuff I'm sentimental about. I have a couple crates of toys from when I was a kid and things that came from my grandparents that I don't really want to get rid of but also don't know where to put them.
