I'm John. What are we doing here today? Man today we're going to show you how to protect and ship your toys. You get something in the mail, you're all excited, you rip it open, the box is crushed, the package is half open, your world crumbles, how do you prevent it? We're going to help you. John, you're an avid collector as we see, you get a lot of pops in the mail. We're going to tell these people exactly how to protect them, how to box them up and ship them to them so that buyer, maybe it's me in the future, I'm buying something, I'm happy with the way it comes out. It's a big deal. You don't want to spend your hard-earned money on those toys for your collection and them come destroyed because I'm an MIB collector, mint inbox, which I think a lot of you are. There's out-of-box people which are crazy, but we'll show you how to keep those things looking fresh. Let's cut to John in this special PSA. What's up guys, it's John with all that I had. We're going to get into how to package toys. First, you've got to have all the good ingredients here, some tape, some packing filler. I usually use old newspapers, I'll show you what to do with those, and bubble wrap. I usually just keep this stuff from all the various packages that always come in in my doorstep. It's good to have, so we've got all these good things. I'm going to show you how to package a few different types of toys. We're going to do a pop, which everyone loves to collect these days, lots of options, and then a Marvel Legends figure. First thing I always do is pick a box that makes sense for what you're shipping. A pop is going to fit in this smaller box good. The Marvel Legends will rock out in this box here. Popps are a big popular collectible right now. It's crazy, there's some that are pretty high up there in value. There's other ways you can safely ship these things to and even add on to your sale. There's soft protectors here. You can pick these up or these hard stacks that go on. This is great for those pops that have a little bit more value to them. Biders really appreciate that you can offer this for an extra 10 bucks or something that'll pop in there. It's going to add some extra protection. These are cool. First, grab your bubble wrap, drop that pop down on it. First thing I do is just roll it up. Make sure it's nice and protected. Grab your tape, the little pea suns, tack it down. You don't have to go too crazy. I'm going to key is to just literally just add a full 360 layer of protection, especially for pop boxes. Man, they can get damaged pretty quick. If you're an inbox collector and you would display them on a shelf, it's just kind of on the box. It's all messed up. And it decreases the value. That's important for collectors that are going to be buying selling trading. I usually just do something like this, throw this guy in here, so look at that. That guy's solid. Bubbles all the way around, protected. Then getting into the box. You don't want to just throw it in here and slap it up and expect it to get there safely. What I typically do with the filler is you create a nice little, just cushions, grab some newspaper, just line the bottom, keeps it off the cardboard. So that way, say the mailman throws it on the porch and it's raining or something. The box gets wet. You got a little layer of protection there. Grab another one. Throw it on the sides. So I'm going to shove it in the corners and the sides. So the idea is to give it a 360 kind of protection layer of paper. It'll just help with that impact. I mean, another thing collectors always complain about is the mail people. You can have somebody send you the most just Fort Knox locked up package, but if the mailman chucks it all around, it's not much to do. So this helps protect that. So look at that guy. So we've got bubble wrap all the way around it, paper in the bottom, sitting on top, paper all the way around. And I will for safe measure, I'll usually just do one more. I'll top. So just kind of create a little bit of layer. Do this flapstown. Grab that tape. Seal it up. I'll check that out. I think you can keep this down the street and this pop would be protected. So there's that guy. Legends figures. Same exact process, really. You know, and the key to this is just again, like you can fit multiple things in here. I'd probably, you know, you can ship multiple figures, stack them on top. All right, let's grab this Marvel Legends figure and let's do the exact same thing. To roll this guy up. I usually go bubble down on these, these type of figures, just something I do. Just kind of adds that expression to the actual package and bubble. So we got this guy wrapped up. So this box is pretty vague, you know? So let's ship this guy to figures. So let's show how we can layer figures in there and get them protected. So here is a nice vintage Broly figure, Dragon Ball Z, 90s gold right here. So let's ship this guy up. So this eBay buyer has purchased multiple items from our store. So we're going to make sure that you get some, again, just roll that guy up. Just slap some tape. It doesn't take a lot of tape. I mean, once it's tacked and it's tight around the figure, it's going to be good to go. So again, the paper is what's, I think, part of the most important part. So it's layer, layer some of the bottom. It's keep you, uh, gets it off the bottom of the cardboard. So see, bottom layer there, start layering and then there. We'll stack them on top of each other. So what I'll do though now, because Broly's kind of big and he's got a wider card. I'm going to go ahead and start shoving paper to offset it on the sides and the ends of the figure here. Just using all this paper. No one reads this stuff. So it's just tacked. We'll just use the paper. Come on, people. So there we go. Check that out. That guy's not going anywhere, right? So let's put, let's put a black panther in here. So do the same thing. And then we're going to put that little 360 layer around it. We can keep them off the cardboard a little bit. A little bit on the side. Rip this sear's catalog. You buy this. Let's get it out. Let's see. There we go. Just creep it up. Throw it in there. It's all you got to do. Easy. All right. Just check that out. I mean, this could survive a hurricane. I'm pretty sure. Throw this flaps down. Seal it up. And with something like this, you know, I typically all take it out really good. And as a little extra layer of protection, all right on the box, hand it with care or fragile. Just huge. All over this thing. It kind of gilts a UPS into treating it a little bit better. But this is a great way to send multiple items. I mean, this thing is not moving around in here. It's safe. Package. Secure. Gonna arrive. Not be damaged. And the collector will be excited. And then it displays beautifully under shelf. Mid-10 box. I'm John. Thanks again for watching.
