Storing Rolls in Vacuum Sealed Freezer Bags...

An e-bay seller has two rolls he is hawking vacuum sealed in a freezer bag. Is this a good way to store rolls and does anyone else store their rolls in this fashion?

I just put my OBW rolls in a drawer.

    Always seemed like a good idea to me. Another guy on here said he does that too. Why shouldn't it work? A vacuum and PVC-free plastic containment is pretty ideal unless you are trying to get eventual toners.

    Just because you remove the air volume from the bag doesn't mean that oxygen and moisture can't permeate through the bag and react with the items inside. Certainly it reduces the amount of oxygen to begin with, but to vacuum pack this was doesn't mean it's secure for life.
