I totally agree with John
most people don't know how to package anything
I know that we do a great job of packing to prevent damage and so do my buyers
Bruce overdoes his packaging and even when the tube or box has been
damaged in transit, Bruce & I remark how the contents are secure.
some packages people send out are so pathetic you wonder if they have
the capacity to think ahead (the human brain can think as far as 5
problems ahead ((I can't remember whet they call this)). I think most
people can't think 1 problem ahead. ((I do know what this call this -
stupidity) )

I have been purchasing a load of lobby cards lately - mostly low
end. The majority of dealers pack them in two thin pieces of
cardboard sometimes with a manila envelope, somtimes not. One dealer
sends flat packages in a large Manila envelope with no cardboard at
all. Other dealers break up the free cardboard packages that you get
from USPS and cut them to lobby card size. They dont make a very
strong package. I have been very lucky lately that none of the
packages have been damaged in recent times.
Most of the dealers I have been using charge 12-15 bucks for postage
from the US to Australia. If they use more cardboard the postage
goes up and noboby buys. On eBay the more you charge for postage the
less you sell.
I spent a lot of time coming up with a way of keeping my overseas
rate to US$12.00 - $12.50 but still making the packaging very
strong. I invite everyone to purchase a lobby card from me and check
out the packaging!
