@ mike and anyone else who sells internationally: what is your sale price threshold for purchading insurance as a buyer? I rarely sell albums that are worth over $100, but sometimes I wonder if those that do exceed that price should be insured when sending overseas. Thoughts on where that sale price needs to be to justify insuring the package?

@Bill – It’s called quadrupling the LP boxes, then bubble wrapping the heck out of it…then putting it in a larger box with more air-wrap/bubble wrap! I did this to the Hank Mobley I sold a month back and it got to japan perfectly.

I have had a few sales like this before and I have no problem paying for shipping and insurance on a major purchase such as this

Mike, on such a huge sale, how do you ship this for safety? Also, are you paying for insurance out of your pocket?

I was the seller on that Sun Ra. The buyer is from Germany and got into a bidding war with another guy. I am a bit nervous since he only was 3 positive feedback. I guess we shall see.

Winner only had a score of (3). I wonder what his (or her) other 3 winning bids were for.
