Ever Wished You Could Find a Hidden Treasure for Under 20.00?

These are the top ten collecting stories based on real events. . September 2012: Abstract Painting Brings Thousands A Goodwill store in North Carolina sold a large abstract painting in 2011 for $9.99 to an amateur painter who wanted to reuse the canvas. A friend suggested she look up the artist’s name written on the back. It was Ilya Bolotowsky. Sotheby’s auctioned the painting on Sept. 21, 2012, for $34,375. The seller plans to pay bills and repair her house with the money. One man's trash is another man's treasure (or woman) is so true! Hidden treasures are everywhere! Maybe our time is coming to unmask a Marvel Comic worth thousands, or a rare, unheard recording by Elvis Presley...whatever it is; Comic, Magazine, Vinyl Record, Coin, Poster, Autograph...whatever...hidden treasures are everywhere.

Check the Website for WEEKLY DEALS

Sometimes it's hard to blog because time has a way of getting away from you, but I thought it was important to mention that we do offer TWO weekly deals categories...one has 5 regular products at 10% off and the other has 5 regular products listed at 20% off. If you have not gone to the website recently, we have done a lot to it...AND we have added new incentives and deals. But the only way to know is to check the website at www.bagsunlimited.com The deals are listed on the homepage, and wholesale and BONUS points information is also listed on the homepage. Other links of interest would be NEW products, What We Do, and in PERIODICALS, you will find HOW TO videos that are very easy to follow with step by step directions. We strive to offer the highest quality products in comic sleeves, comic backings, mailers and frames, as well as for posters, postcards, music, audio and vinyl, corrugated storage boxes, mailer tubes and card sleeves, frames, and just about everything in between. We have a product custom fit for almost every type of collectible. We invite you to go to the website now and browse the thousands of items we offer. We also invite you to COMMENT on products you have purchased in the past.

WHY USE BAGS UNLIMITED for COLLECTION PROTECTION?

Hi, all! I hope everyone is fairing well and in good health! I thought it was important to bring up some reasons for using Bags Unlimited for protecting your collectibles. I know there are places that may sell some of the same products we do...maybe even in some cases for less, but I hope to explain what those differences may be and entice you to read on ...for the sake of your collections.

We have been manufacturing archival preservation products for about 40 years. The whole premise of the company is, was and always will be based on the highest quality products used in preventing the wear and tear and eventual breakdown of collectibles. It's nothing we take lightly. All of our products specify what they are made of, and we help give you the best picture possible to explain what the differences might be. We do have an economy line and we also have the highest form of protection available which would be museum grade. We give as many choices as possible. We also cut each product to fit very specific collectibles..it's not to say that you couldn't use a mylar lobby card sleeve on a still...you can, but if it's meant for a specific product, it's cut to measure so that slippage is not possible. (Slippage may also cause wear and tear, and we don't want that, of course). Another point is that we use these products ourselves on our own collectibles! We are family owned and operated and we intend to remain that way...who doesn't like working with a company that has a face? I know I prefer it. We offer many amenities to help offset costs and we also offer wholesale pricing, weekly specials and bonus points~ (Every order gives you points that = a 10% discount). We have LIVE, knowledgeable customer service reps and sales people who can help answer questions, and we even supply free samples. So, when you're looking for a company to purchase products from, I hope you think of us~ We are here to help, and we invite you to try us out and see for yourself what we can do for you! Please let us know if you have any questions, and we hope to be hearing from you soon!

What's New for the New Year?

Bags Unlimited has been working on a lot of things....bringing new and exciting products to the table, lowering some pricing, adding the WEEKLY DEALS, and soon, "HOW TO" videos. This is very exciting! Collecting is an art. There is a way to do it, then there are untold numbers of ways NOT to do it. It can be a challenge for some, and we want to try to take the challenge out of it for you! So, keep your eyes peeled! We will be adding videos soon, but in the interim, you can always call our customer support team! We're only a phone call or email away! *Be sure to stay in the loop and make sure we have your email address! Happy Collecting!

THE END OF A GREAT YEAR AND THE START OF A NEW ONE!

Bags Unlimited would like to say "THANKS" to all those who have visited our website, read our blogs, purchased any of of our products and those who stopped in to say "HI"! We appreciate our clientele and would like to wish each and every one of you a VERY safe, healthy and happy New Year!!!!! Here's to 2013!

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.

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~
