PACKAGING for shipping cassette tapes or vinyl on eBay, Discogs, etc Hey Has anyone sold vinyl or cassette tapes on eBay before? I am wondering how you packaged them before shipping.
So, for some reason, Canada doesn't have vinyl mailers to ship with so I have never begun selling my collection.
I also have amassed a pretty sweet cassette collection but could be crushing it on eBay right now. What I don't want is the tape cases to be crushed during shipment. How would you package a cassette? [Edited 3/7/22 12:43pm] |

I've been selling music media on ebay for years now. I always use the amazon style record mailers with added stiffeners for vinyl. For cassettes and cd I use the pizza box style mailers, similar to these https://www.tinyboxcompan...stal-boxes I always usually try to add a layer of card or bubble wrap around cassettes and cd too though, just in case. Hope you can find what you're looking for in your area.
*edit These look the part for cassettes https://www.retrostylemed...ard-mailer They ship worldwide, but not sure how cost effective that would be for you. [Edited 2/23/22 12:02pm] Formerly TheDigitalGardener etc. |

I'm gonna broken record this...
Discogs is the best vinyl/music in all formats marketplace on this planet or any other. At the very least discogs should be used to check exactly which pressing/version you're selling, what it's going for, what's the most it has gone for, etc. You may still end up selling everything on ebay (and unless you have something rare will likely get more there), but at least you'd be doing it with some knowledge.
And sure, just my opinion, but it's an opinion formed from selling several hundred pieces of electronic vinyl over the last couple years. |

This is the way...

I know this would apply to Discogs as well. I don't think we have those card sleeves. |
