Packing and shipping sticky?
What do you guys think of a sticky thats just for packing and shipping vintage bikes and parts?
This thread could include the horror stories as well as successful stories.
And with lots of pics it could be a nice way to show someone how to pack or how not to pack a bike for shipping. A lot of our shipping stories are scattered about on the forum.
It seems a lot of sellers have no idea. BTW this isn't my idea. I stole it from a vintage audio forum!
Maybe it could be a separate section with the classic and vintage sales and appraisals?

I dont think we need a sticky. What we think is unacceptable and what a seller thinks is unacceptable are 2 entirely different animals. To be honest, as long as my stuff gets to Tampa in the condition it was advertised in I dont care how it was packed. In general your paying for 'shipping'...point A to point B.
