      I followed these instructions exactly and the painting arrived with no issues. The only thing I did different was while I used regular packing tape for most of the under layers, I used strapping tape on the outside to bind everything together. I surprised myself with how well I did and how well it looked. Now I've sold another $200 painting (21 x 28) and am back doing a refresher before I dive into it again. Thanks for helping me out!

      @@TheAuctionProfessor yeah thank you. I packed it up and it made it. I have 4 frames 26x32 of the Declaration of Independence that I have had but was afraid to ship it. I going to post them sometime this week. It looks like they might have been hanging in a courthouse. I’m not sure how old they are but they look like they have some age.

    This should be a mandatory watch for all new and many seasoned resellers. You're absolutely right, if you don't want to spend the time and effort to pack properly, don't sell it. Thank you for this. I've sold many delicate items without any issues and consider myself an excellent packer but this video is extremely helpful. We can always learn so thank you. I've been on the receiving end of a couple of inadequate packing jobs and it's especially sad when a 100 year old item is damaged.

    It amazes me how channels that provide little to no actual value in the reselling niche get many times the views... I really appreciate all your videos. One of the more unique and information filled channels in this entire category of reselling.

      Wyatt Losinski there are real differences on You Tube between celebrity and selling. Those channels you speak of fill a niche called interaction addressing loneliness, community, and shopping hauls. That audience would never be drawn to the Auction Professor. Another content channel you should check out is The Antique Nomad. Super content!

    However, this morning I’ve been tasked with shipping a large valuable framed piece the buyer paid $999.99 for 😮

    @sebastienbolduc5654 Год назад +6

    Have you ever thought about using painters tape on the glass? The tape helps to absorb small shocks. Also, if the glass accidentally breaks it will hold it together, thus reducing risk of damaging the print.

      I personally don't like using trash bags / grocery bags to pack items lol, i've found that honeycomb packing paper saves a lot of bubble wrap and seems to be just as safe, if not safer... i do like his packing method on the cardboard boxes, very creative and probably less expensive than buying a box that perfectly fits your specific framed art.

    Thanks for the videos I'm always sending these to my friends in the game or suggest them to resellers I come across in the wild. Your advice is top notch so I'm going to share this with you hoping to give back. Shipping art for us takes roughly around 7 minutes. We always buy all the pool noodles we come across on sale at the end of summer for art (or just buy them from a dollar store if needed.). So our shop does Bubble wrap, shrink wrap, cut the pool noodles to the angles of the frame. cut them down the middle slide them on to the frame. (all of this with scissors) tape them across to secure, another wrap in shrink wrap. since were always looking for art we order flat screen tv shipping boxes. Thanks so much for the content.

    That looks great! I’m not very strong to move things, or cut & bend cardboard like that lately. It’s a little less tedious for me, if I bubble wrap the heck out of it, sandwich between two large cardboard & float in a bigger box. Of course I end up with a huge box, and higher shipping, but it works for me, and if it’s a nice piece, the buyer doesn’t mind the shipping cost. I agree, It does take a lot of thought, time & effort. I’ve been passing up art unless it’s going to be over $100. I’ve shipped some awesome Victorian artwork in the past. I love old artwork, I wish it wasn’t so dang hard to package.
