Welcome to BrickPicker. Kind of funny that we have 2 Martins posting around now. Go figure... B and P are the initials of BrickPicker. LOL

Well I buy 100's of boxes a year or so, either from Staples.com, uline.com or from a box company in Baltimore. Now it seems like Staples.com is the best place to get them, as the Quality is as good as uline.com and the price is way cheaper as Staples has free shipping. As for the Perfect box for the haunted House, Fire Brigade etc, well I got 100 of them from a box company in baltimore for $1.00 each he had 100 of them so I got all 100 but the way it looks I will need more. "But back to Staples and Uline. I ordered 25 of the 20"X16"x4" This is the perfect box for the Volkswagen camper, Friends Olivia's House, 6868 batcave, Etc. and I also ordered 25 of the 15"x12"x4" this box is for the Funhouse, and Orc Forge that I have. From Either site you have to buy the boxes in Bundles, 95% are bundles of 25 or 20. So the Price for these boxes from. ULine.com $64.25 Plus $30.28 shipping. $94.53 Total usually you get the boxes 1-2 days delivered. Now Staples total was $64.74 Free Shipping. So for $30 Cheaper Staples.com is the way to go, the only drawback for staples is you have to order $60 or more for free shipping, and it took a week to get my boxes, as I had them shipped to Staples where I go to the Movies, not sure on how long it takes if they are shipped direct to your house. So $94.53 from uline.com or $64.74 from Staples.com and the boxes were the same Quailty.

He can tell you the shipping is tracked all he wants, but there's still a huge risk he never sends the set. I would never agree to having a Craigslist seller ship a set. There's no recourse if the guy steals your money. EDIT - I would never agree to having a CL seller ship a set UNLESS I had done business with them before and trusted them.

Great idea, its more about logistics - I like it though. We can use Amazon, unfortunately others don't say how many are left. But I think Amazon is a good measuring stick.

Ship it, and remember you need signature confirmation as well as delivery confirmation for items over $250. Don't worry about it - I sell to tons of very low feedback buyers, they're almost always fine. Don't bother video taping yourself doing anything - it sounds like a good idea, until you think it through and realize you could videotape yourself sending a diamond ring, then once the camera stops rolling unpack the diamond ring and send the guy a lump of coal. The video proves nothing. You can't prevent low or zero feedback buyers purchasing from you on eBay, you can only prevent -2 feedback buyers (pretty useless since there's no more negative feedback for buyers), certain locations, people with a certain number of unpaid item strikes, etc. There's a certain amount of risk doing business, online and off. You've already decided to take that risk when you list, now you follow the rules and protect yourself as best you can.

If you have an amex card they are offering $25 statement credit on a $75 purchase at Staples or Staples.com. Log into your amex account online and then click on the "offers for you" tab and it should be there. Every penny helps! I have used staples in the past for their 24x16x4 boxes. They are the standard 32lb edge crush test boxes you will get from anywhere else. Shipping does take about 10 days to get to your house tho. Also staples only has a small selection of sizes. I contacted my local packaging companies whose regular prices are always alot more than uline or staples. I asked if they would price match uline as I would prefer to support a local business and they where happy to. Now I get all of my boxes thru the local company with all sizes available. Give your local businesses a shot - uline prices and I can pick up my order the next day. For bubble wrap the cheapest prices by far that I have found are on ebay.

Dude these girls own convertables, RVs, yachts, and stables. That c-note is probably just her daily allowance, and she's using it to wipe condensation off the table. #richgirlproblems

Minifigures...Up close and personal. I zoomed up as much as possible. They really do look different now. The guard has some nice details on him!
