>>My husband, Charley Lippincott, former movie executive (he came up
>with the cross merchandising deals of toys for Star Wars and was also
>producer of Judge Dredd) has a massive record collection which we
>moved across country. By massive, I mean 20,000.
>>
>>The 20,000 albums cost the equivalent of a house downpayment to pack
>and move from Los Angeles to the East Cost. As we look forward to
>Seniors assisted living, I am adamant they will never be moved again.
>Only packed and sold. So we have looked at how to sell the
>collection.
>>
>>
>>Album boxes are not 12". They are 12 1/4" x 12 1/4". They won't fit
>in a 12"x12", which is really unfortunate because the larger 12 1/4"
>boxes cost 2x as the standard 12". We bought custom sized record
>boxes in bulk from Uline that were either 6 or 8" deep. Anything
>bigger, the vinyl weight starts to add up and become cumbersome to
>move.
>>
>>
>>To sell albums on ebay is very piecemeal. Unless you have high
>ticket items, be warned that it is a labor intensive job, and
>collectors who buy are very picky about condition -- just like poster
>collectors. You really have to get a system down to photograph them,
>accurately describe the condition, then ship.
>>
>>The best shipping mailers are shaped like a cross, and get folded
>over. Depending on how far you are shipping -- i.e., will it go
>international -- you might need to use stiffeners which are just
>cardboard pieces but out the size of the cardboard. some record
>sellers just cut out cardboard and put tape around the edges to hold
>them together. Or if the albums are really valuable collectors items,
>then luan can be be used. Of course, then you have to cut the 4'x8'
>luan sheets down to size, so that's a hassle.
>>
>>I would just google record mailers and see the cheapest price. Once
>you factor in quantity and shipping cost, overhead cost can vary a
>lot. We got our record mailers from someplace other than Uline.
