I keep the receipt in the original box and so it's going to be there as long as box is in existence. I know more about gear than I know about photography

monk3y Totally Saturated More info | Jul 10, 2010 19:49 | #6 generally, so far for my photography gears, I only buy new. and I keep them in the box of the item I bought. so that if I decide to sell them, I could find the receipt easily.

gjl711 THREAD STARTER Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill. 57,733 posts Likes: 4065 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Jul 10, 2010 21:06 | #10 I also keep mine for a long time. I have a file cabinet with a bunch of hanging folders. One is photo gear. I also provide the sales receipt for any gear I sell as I also save the boxes and all the paperwork and manuals. When I buy used I prefer to have the sales receipt as well unless it's really old. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Jul 10, 2010 21:35 | #11 I never kept receipts in the past but when I bought my new camera I decided to get insurance coverage and they requested copies of the receipts. Now as I buy equipment I send a copy to the insurance company and then keep the original so if I do have a claim I have a receipt I can send in with the claim just in case the insurance company requests another copy.
