In their new arrival section they have $79 record boxes. WTF who buys this shit? I had a custom cabinet built for $99 that holds around 700 records. An expedite isn't much more. Its plywood and fucking plywood. I am sure they are "well crafted" but for real.

    Reynaldo... particularly when it has a Pete Rock logo stencilled on it.

    That shit is way overpriced but I think TTL has a pretty loyal customer base that will pretty much buy anything. Record collectors tend to have a lot of cash to throw around.

    Who are these mystery people? They surely aren't on here.

    You must be talking about the Japanese, in which case they probably have their own native TTLab to buy from.

    No doubt there nice but you can buy a shelf that will hold hundreds if not thousands for $99!

    Man I should have bought 2 of those for 2 bills instead of one of the 5X5 one's!

    any of ya'll ever have problems w/ overloading those shelves? WWW says 29 lb's max per shelf and I KNOW that the amount of records you can fit per cube probably weighs almost twice that. I'm just asking b/c I'll be buying these soon for my almost completed family/dj/tv/entertainment room...

    Great collectros. $79 for a record box is really nothing.
  • cascas 1,484 Posts
    yeah. i saw these. $79 is steep considering you'll probably need a grip of 'em. they look sharp though.



    do it up fancysexycool like above and you're already over $300 with shipping.

    Just put together 6 13"x13" birth veneer crates for $90 and have enough for another.

    The best part: they're big and sturdy enough (3/4") to ship records in when I move. I'm sick of having to go buy a shitload of boxes whenever I move. You know a lot of crates are backed with crummy 1/8" plywood that's stapled on and are only 12" TOTAL depth, so about an inch too short to come over the end of the record. So the records stick out of the crate. Can't stack em like that in a moving van... plus with the thin backs the backs would come right out.

    shipping for "the box" would be 12 bucks! ha, what a steal.

    a demographic who thinks they're too sophisticated, but refuses to make the effort to enjoy anything of substance
