If you "collect" and dont play, then yes, but if your going to play with them then theres no point.
Look at the Hasbros that are still MOC. The sealed ones bring in pretty good money, if you ever HAVE TO or WANT TO sale them, but dont collect for money, do it for fun and enjoy it.

I'll keep some of the backgrounds from the box as some of the designs are great for taking photos with the figures.

Undoubtedly, they're going to sale if you need to get rid of them but that's the thing, "are you collecting for future sale inflation or for the interest of the hobby?" Myself, it's the hobby and then passing it on to my toddler son eventually, and if he wants to sell them, that's fine with me...

I only keep boxes for lego/mega bloks. That way I can break them down if they need to move.

I keep ALL my boxes (not card backs), even if I have another MIP. My attic is full of bags with the empty boxes

I'm a mix of both moc and loose. I buy a figure with a pristine box and and flawless figure, and I take the figure out of the box carefully and display it in front of its box. If you have some boxes you don't need anymore, i'd be happy to take them off your hands.

I keep my boxes since I think the boxes look neat even without the figure in them. Sadly, I wish I kept my elite 20 CM Punk box, I started keeping the boxes after my 1st figure. I don't buy basics unless it's the divas, I just cut around the bubble but enough to actually have the bubble still attached, battle packs too.. My boxes are piled up ceiling height, with their name/pic viewed with my ASR/attachments boxes on top of them. Also, all my figs are loose except Legends 1 SCSA, Elite 17 Mankind, Elite 9 Randy Orton, and MKX Kitana, those hang on my wall next to theater display posters of The Wolverine, Star Trek 2, and Transformers 1-4

I've kept boxes since they switched from the black boxes. So pretty much any box that's wasn't beat to hell from Elite 12 and up I've tried to keep. One day when I get my stuff set up I'd like to live them up to look sort of like a book shelf
I plan on doing a lot though but it never happens, LOL

Like many here, I thought I should initially keep them. After countless figures and a more cluttered basement, I started to get rid of the boxes. I don't keep any boxes these days.

No space for that crap so NO. Plus I think anything except Legends carded/blister packages suck and are ugly.

I've kept the DM boxes. I only have 3 so far (Savage,Warrior and Sting) so space really isn't an issue. I just put them in the garage anyway. My kids or wife rarely go in there and really won't question why I'm keeping empty boxes.

I keep them all for reasons I cant explain. I have 18 figs MISB, and the rest Ive opened and have a few stacks of empty boxes in my bedroom. Around 70 or 80 boxes. The first one I opened (E22 Rock) I mangled a bit, but the rest are pristine.
