OT - Who Do You Use For Supplies?

I think the freight cost is a universal problem. We tend to buy stuff that's either heavy, bulky, or both.
I would suggest trying to find someone close to where you are geographically, to save some on the freight.



If you want some nicer boxes, I've been happy with these guys.

I think I use one of the big supply guys on ebay but I forget who. One suggestion is to "overstock" up on stuff. As mentioned the shipping can be one of the bigger costs on buying supplies. I buy bubble mailers by the 500 count and I buy my small supplies in fairly large quantities, that are usually going to hold me for a few years. That way I can save on the shipping . Also, since I buy my smaller supplies in bulk I usually will call the business and get an even better deal on $200+ of supplies, if bought at once. regards

Thanks guys - this is helpful. Geographically speaking, I'm in NYC so I'm unsure if there are any places I can go that have supplies (I did try a google search).

[Jim VB]

No, but a PA company should have lower shipping costs than an Oregon supplier.

Jon--

If you are near the White Plains show this weekend you could go & pick up just what you need---usually a good place to buy supplies, esp if there are more than one dealer selling them!

I get cardboard boxes for my graded cards from SGC - I pick them up when I stop by their offices to drop off submissions so that I can save the shipping cost.

I bought my graded card sleeves from an eBay seller - I think the ID was dreamjoey. It was $2 for 100 of them with reasonable shipping, if I remember correctly. It was a few months ago.

Hope that helps.

I buy from Andrew and have been very happy with the dealings.
