Try this at your peril

Just realized. Don't get me wrong: Nothing against new members. Just tread more carefully in the buy/sell.

To Paul's point, I have had the worst experiences both buying and selling to new members here and on melnet. Not necessarily scamming tho some were. More like the "craigslist" or ebay buyer/seller looking for a flip purchase or to unload that type of thing. Some real caveat emptor. Not the type of buying and selling experience you have when dealing with established members, as pointed out above. Really is worth treading carefully.

Not as crazy as it first sounds....

Jim, my preference is the soft case. Two main issues are decelerating the box from a drop and protecting the box from puncture. Just look at any mail order box you receive and see the crush corners and puncture marks and see the potential and common problem. Overall best concertina packaging is your soft case (or no case) copious bubble wrap in a 12x12x12 box. And then float that box inside another box with packing peanuts or similar material. This will handle 10' fall and most handling machine puncture. Expensive but effective. Don't bother with insurance; waste of money. The only thing better would be a huge Pelican, Nanuk or similar with custom foam. And even that does not handle falls as well. Use good boxes and good tape. As previously stated avoid UPS Store but UPS is OK. Fortunately I can drive to Asheville but my favorite melodeon tuner is in FL.

Hello Fiddler: do you know the source of the flight case style case?

Spouse did have some nice boxes.

Why all the hocus pocus? Why not post the access to picture folders? Also prices? With respect smells of scam. Not the way it's usually done.

Shameless plug: see my even nicer C/F Erica for sale on melodeon.net. Fettled, tuned and ready to play. Not an antique unless you are wanting one.

Kimric Smyth has recently perfected a duck call that he has installed in melodeons...
