Am I the only one here who uses steel filing cabinets?


I have a wood shop here at home as one of my other hobbies and I have thought about building custom cabinets for my comics. I have seen other's comic rooms with custom cabinets and they look awesome. It's just such a big project to commit to though lol. One day..]]> Sat, 26 Jun 2021 22:20:46 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=16283 Message from Theoldcollector Sat, 26 Jun 2021 22:17:20 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=16283 Message from Pacino rixmaxx wrote:

If you go to BCW's website (bcwsupplies.com), you can order the boxes there for about $125 for a pack of 5 with free shipping (anything over $200). Definitely cheaper than Bezos' baby or ebay. Might as well buy comic supplies too if you're getting the free shipping.

Most supplies are backordered until August or September puppy dog eyes



I'd rather wait than overpay though.]]> Sat, 26 Jun 2021 17:35:37 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=16283 Message from rixmaxx BasementComics wrote:

Yeah, those little bins have gotten pricier. However, I am trying to transition over to them since they protect the books a bit better. Amazing the false sense of security I was giving myself with the long/short white ones. I generally order from Amazon, well, because of Covid and I can get them next day, but I have to really watch the prices since they are so volatile. They aren't available on Subscribe and Save so no discount there.

The other is Mylar 2mm bags. However, I put them on Amazon Subscribe and Save with Prime and I have the same price now as I did last May. They limit me to 2 a month though. Its worked out well, though, as I have been a bit more thoughtful on my approach to processing/evaluating my books given that I will only switch 100/month to Mylar. I know, I too am surprised I didn't have bag/board degradation for the decades the books were in the same enclosure.

Here is the crazy price history for Mylar Bags on Amazon and they are at a silly $31 right now. With S/S, I am paying $17.

I order my supplies from my comic store dcbservice.com. They don't post bags/boards on the site but if you have an account with them (not Lunar Distribution), you can have them added to an order. I pay $15.00 for 100 for BCW standard thick bags and boards or $25 for 50 of the Mylites2/Full backs. $7.00 flat shipping charge.
