How to pack miniatures?
When your selling minis how should you pack them ?i.e should you use a box,bubble wrap etc
Re: How to pack miniatures?
Part of that depends on the miniatures and what state they are in. If they are NIB or on sprue, I'm less worried about them getting jumbled around. I'll still use bubble wrap, but not to the extent that I do with assembled / painted miniatures. Consider what you are protecting against:
- paint chipping / rubbing off - more packaging
- breakage - more packaging
- on sprue - less packaging
- NIB - less packaging
Also consider how much you are shipping at on time. If you've got several NIB miniatures, plus some painted/assembled, or several painted/assembled, you want to minimize the impacts they could take. In that case, I'd be inclined to box the assembled in a box inside the main box.

@kturock
I remember talking to you about that. I remember looking forward to it.
I don't remember ever seeing it posted.
(Not saying you didn't do it... Saying I don't remember. LOL)
If anyone's got a link to it, I'll be happy to sticky it.

Re: How to pack miniatures?
I think I posted it in a reply..somewhere. I never went back and rewrote it seperately, since most of the info was there.
I made a comment that it should have been copied & cut & pasted and stickied....when I don't recal.. or even what topic. maybe it was on an insurance claim post.
