    I usually go with the old pizza box (make sure to use some plastic shopping bags to stop the lp from shifting during shipping. You can also duct tape the cover to the inside of the pizza box if you want to be extra careful. Make sure to secure the flaps of the box. Hay baling twine works best for this.











    Or... you could order some LP mailers and insert stiffeners from uline.com (or brasspack, bags unlimited, etc.) I say go with uline because you will have the boxes by tomorrow since they ship overnite and their shipping is very cheap compared to the others.

    Son, check my post again. I told you everything you need to know. ULINE. Anyway, you've been registered since 2005. How did you think this was going to go down?

    If you aren't quite familiar with the grading system I'd say don't bother trying to sell right away... its gonna take some time to build up the knowledge required. Otherwise you're risking ruining your rep fast... and getting dough that you shouldn't.

    Hells yes.

    And, don't forget the newspaper. In a pinch, a great stand in for the pizza box.

    Zero-asshurt in four posts. He must get poor gas mileage.

    Dude, check out Goldmine standards for your grading system. You've already gotten good advice on finding quality, well-priced packing materials.

    Godspeed. And if you're going to hang around, try not to take the clowning personally. It's the way things roll around here.

    If it's shinny it's mint.
    If it looks like sandpaper was rubbed against it mark it as non-mint

    Lurker with gat in a 64 impala busting smiley folls up in a driveby plaese.

    Re: grading, Check Goldmine grading standards, always grade under good light, tilt record back and forth a few times on both sides like a Sportsflic baseball card and you'll be all swizzle.

    At least that's how I do it. And shipping? Forget what these fools are telling you. Of course a pizza box won't get your LP to its destination in decent shape. You have to use a flattened priority mailer for that.

    I personally find it infinitely helpful when sellers remind me that "THIS IS A USED RECORD. DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE PERFECT."
