I almost placed an order with BBCE simply because I needed packing peanuts.


I am crazy.

    I found out peanuts are expensive. You can get them for a lot less on ebay.

    I used to come up short on those, so I started saving 'em. Now I have a lawn/leaf bag full of packing peanuts as part of the decor of my office.

    So what your saying is, you can get them for "peanuts" on ebay ?

    I just told my wife I ordered a box of peanuts from BBCE. I think I failed to mention that I asked him to pack-out the box with a 86 Topps football wax box. image

    BBCE and PSA provide tons of free peanuts.

    My 18-month-old eats them.

    I bring them out late in the game when everyone has had too much to drink. I tell them that it is popcorn. It is funny watching the drunks try to chew on them.

    I save em from PSA and BBCE too. I thought I was the only one, it's good to know there are others. image

    Speaking of which, I have stuff coming from both places, oh and a box from Kruk cards too. Sweet! I'll have tons of peanuts again. I was down to about a half bag.

    It is a sad commentary that my shipping peanut outtake has been greater than my intake as of late.

    Anyone have a great source for these or are the eBay sellers the best it gets?

    Thanks in advance.

    Almost everything I use in my business comes in with those damn styrofoam peanuts. I honestly throw out almost 10-20 gallon bags a month during our busy season. I dont know how much they sell for on ebay, but if its anything I could retire
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    We had an order to fill buoys with them for the Coast Guard once, I think it was kind of a test. We ended up with half a railroad car full of them, waist deep. You could run and dive and just float to a stop in there.


    I caught tail in that railroad car on more than one occasion. image
