Is Anything REALLY Free?

Aren't we all just a little suspicious when we see the word "FREE"? I know I am. From experience, free isn't usually free, and that is sad. If we read something, we should be able to take it at face value...believe it, but it seems that we are suspect of many things these days. (I guess that is how the old cliche' was coined..."If it seems to good to be true, it probably is").
Well, at Bags Unlimited, we would like to redeem your faith in "FREE". No, really! There ARE things you can get for free at Bags Unlimited. "Like what?" you say? Well, let's start with FREE shipping east of the Mississippi, and Free WEST of the Mississippi if you spend 200.00. Samples are FREE! YOU CAN GET FREE STUFF TO HELP PROMOTE YOUR SHOW! Free stuff for Record Store Day...I mean, free is free! and we mean it!
So if you want to know what's free, follow our blog as we will update the Free stuff, and we will let you know about specials and sales.....you can even call us just to say HI!
click on this to find out what is FREE!
It's not to say that we don't have things that do cost money, but if you DO buy something from us, (and we hope you will), you will be glad you did. We don't scrimp on quality, we don't shave a little off the top and we don't misrepresent what we sell....we stand behind our products 100%.

So, check us out...at least sign up for our blog...you KNOW that is free!
Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for reading our blog.

How Do I Choose a Storage Box?


bagsunlimi…
(1 item)
Storage boxes can be confusing....i.e. what is the best type and size to use for my collectibles, and what materials are better than others?
What should I look for when searching for storage boxes?
We might have a few answers for you!
Depending on what you're storing, you will want to make sure the box is particular to that certain collectible. If you want to store magazines, what TYPE of magazines, and what year are they? Different years have different sizes in some cases. Find a box meant for that particular magazine.
Look for the TEST WEIGHT...if the test weight is 250 lbs. that is the recommended weight that box can withstand.
What material? Well, acid free corrugated is a standard "go to" box, however, PLASTIC corrugated can help prevent damage depending upon where you are storing your collectibles.
You can find much more information about preservation on our website, and don't forget to check out our "HOW TO" videos while you're there!what do I need to look for in a storage box?

SAY YES TO FREE!

Hello record show folks. We've got a terrific new product for you to try out FREE of charge. Just send us a list of the record shows you've attended as a vendor in the last twelve months and your website address and we'll send you two FREE double walled record boxes to try out. We guarantee they'll last longer and look better longer than any current box you're using to take your records to shows in. No tricks or strings attached - we just know these boxes are tops, and want you to save money in the long run. Just e-mail us with the above information and a street address and we'll get them right out to you.
ALSO - two more exciting pieces of news for you:
1) If you are a record store with a physical address and a resale number, we'll send you 20 bottles of our 2 oz. record cleaning fluid to give out, raffle, or sell on Record Store Day. Along with that, we'll send a couple of cases of our catalogs to give out at your store.
2) If you are a show sponsor, we'll send some free giveaways or raffle items for your show, and put your show banner on our website, along with some of our catalogs for your reference table.
DON'T SAY NO TO FREE!!!!!

CONVENTION and SHOW SEASON for COMICS, RECORDS, POSTCARDS, BOOKS and MORE

Well, we're headed into SPRING FORWARD time which means the days will be longer, but certainly not lazier! It's convention and show time! There are so many great shows coming up we couldn't possibly begin to list them all, as much as we would like to. Some folks that have taken advantage of our SHOW PROMOTION PACKAGE, however (where you get FREE STUFF!) and are listed in our LINKS category on our website @ SHOW LINKS
This is definitely a PLUS for any convention or shows looking to promote! We all know that the larger the turnout, the more likely it is that your business will grow!
Some of the upcoming shows feature artists, and various personalities that have made a mark in their industry. Getting autographed pictures is always a plus! (Be sure to preserve them in one of our acid free sleeves and backing boards!).
We hope to continue to offer more ways to help conventions and shows expand as needs arise.
If you would like to promote YOUR show, please contact DAVE STREET at 800-767-2247 or Marion.
Dave will be at some of the more local shows, so please introduce yourself if you see him! (He would be the smiling face at the Bags Unlimited table).
Another thing I would like to bring up is vinyl records. We all know vinyl has become more popular within the last couple of years, and we are offering a special give away for Record Stores in NYS that are participating in Record Store Day. Many people are still unaware of the expansive line we offer for records, including printing on record jackets!
At any rate, as this new season begins, let's all try to help one another to grow, and if you happen to see us at one of the shows, please be sure to say "hi"! We're always interested in meeting our customers and would be more than happy to discuss products and pricing with you. (We offer many levels of wholesale pricing, so please be sure to ask!).
So, here is to a new season with BIG SHOWS WITH LOTS OF ATTENDEES~
