storing vinyl

prince  said about 3 years ago  or at  8:08AM on Monday, December 22 2008 in chat

most milk crates don't seem to fit records and i ain't got room for shelves. What do you store your vinyl in?

Just cardboard up some green bags, don't stack to many on top of each other.
Boingo!
IKEA shelf is the best, if you've got a spare $280 to blow on storage.

i've always wanted to make a wall hanging sleve system that enables one to turn their wall into a massive phallic shrine of conquests

careful of mould/rising damp, frankie.

A lot of mine got fucked up from rising damp and a water leakage.
ask Rigid.

Get shelves. Don't fuck around with it. Officeworks got a similar shelves unit to IKEA's Expedit series. The Officeworks one is only 6 cubes if you are worrying about it taking up too much space. Don't stack any LPs in green bags. Ever.

Nah.... it's fine, really!

what about the best way to post vinyl overseas? i'm thinking of clearing out most of my vinyl, and i'm hoping that the rare stuff gets picked up by wealthy europeans.


goingblank  said about 3 years ago:

What have you got dub3000?


LaxCharisma  said about 3 years ago:

Haha! Exactly what I was thinking.

you aint got room not to have shelves.


crimpies  said about 2 years ago:

Been putting my 7'' records into Coles Snap Seal resealable storage bags.

30 pack 22cm x 25cm = $2.50 (8 cents each)

Not sure if it's good or bad for the records, but at least they're not getting dusty.

dairy farmers sussed on to the old milk crates as storage many years ago, as the once were the perfect size. the bastards went and made 'em just that lil' bit smaller - enough to render them useless for storage.

Anyways - any collector worth their salt knows to just bite the bullet and get the ikea expiditer unit (if you can't afford lovely timber custom made, that is).


bigstar  said about 2 years ago:

I use Ikea Traby's stackable shelves. Not cheap but perfect for records

Here's a pic I found of someone's records housed in the same shelves as I have.


astralwerkor  said about 2 years ago:

That's exactly what I need.


bigstar  said about 2 years ago:

they come in single blocks, double or quadruple. Check the Ikea website for prices.


jeebee  said about 2 years ago:

so yeah, just learnt from this thread that they don't make TRABY anymore... angry!


bigstar  said about 2 years ago:

Absolute fucken disgrace!


timmydodgers  said about 2 years ago:

omg i need those. no ikea in nz.
ho hum....


hiponion  said about 2 years ago:

i don't mind the expedit ones


rubytipped  said about 2 years ago:

expedit is good. you can get all sizes.

also this mob:

cheltenham VIC

goingblank  said about 2 years ago:

How many records can one of those sedlif cubes hold?


rubytipped  said about 2 years ago:

bout the same as an expedit cube i guess - maybe 50 or so


anok  said about 2 years ago:

i just hate that ikea melamine (melamite? malamute?) stuff.


jeebee  said about 2 years ago:

yeah, I wanted real, unpainted wood - the sedlif ones are made out of wood, but no 'natural' ones...


rubytipped  said about 2 years ago:

the sedlif ones you can't get from the factory in cheltenham unless you have an abn.

they sell to the public through a shop in carnegie, a homwares shop in neerim rd. $35 flatpacked. $40 built.

so they more expensive but kind of funkier than an expedit.


Kez  said about 1 year ago:

Expedit's $189 now. Just brought home 2 sets. Construction next week, hopefully.
