Where should i look for the best price for storage materials? It has been years since I made any new purchases! Well I got the bug again, and prices are through the roof! Little help here?


I agree with Capn Doug - probably the best to buy at local comic shop. You can get better deals mail order - but only if you buy mass quantities. I do have a local used bookstore with new supplies - they are a little less expensive. You might try bookstores in your area.]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2016 12:58:00 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5712 Message from kds_comics wire_welder wrote:

Any prices compared to anything 10/15 years ago will be "ridiculous". You can't expect prices to remain the same for over a decade for anything.]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2016 11:22:18 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5712 Message from gregbrookins Wed, 16 Mar 2016 10:50:42 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5712 Message from CapnDoug wire_welder wrote:

In fairness, the quality has also increased (along with the whole inflation being a real thing). I know that when I went to replace my bags and boards 10 years ago, I was told that you were supposed to replace your bags every 5 years. Now that has gone up and you can get away with every 10 years. Bags are the one that I saw have the biggest price increase over the last 10 years.]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2016 02:08:06 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5712 Message from Gilgandra The first time i got storage boxes & boards/bags (i don't remember what year, maybe "97) was in Parramatta outside Sydney.
Think it was 6 storage boxes & 1 pack of boards/bags got more later. I had to carry them with me on the a train back to the nearest station, That was a 6 hrs ride then a 47 km car trip to home. I still have them & they are still in use.

I also get a discount on purchases from my LCS (Sydney) I need to order more storage boxes real soon Lol.
