Also, if you hit up a Walmart at the right time, they are literally throwing away tons of boxes, and they'd probably just give a few to you.

Good advice, My Local HomeHardware does freight on Tuesday and Friday and have a huge dumpster full of boxes by the end of the day. I can grab some whenever I need, screw paying for boxes, unless it's really large or valuable. I'm in the process of trading my MOC Blade and I'm definatley going the extra mile to make sure he gets to my fellow arker no worse for wear. MOC also usually costs more to ship, so factor that in when selling, especially size of the figure, box or card, weight and dimensions all add up. Last thing you want to do is offer someone a figure and turns out you undercut yourself on shipping costs, which either eats away at your own profits, or can put some arkers off when you say shipping will be $5-10 etc more then the original quote. Best way to do this is take pics of what you want to sell, then package them, use a kitchen scale or bathroom depending on the weight and size of the package, and measure it, from there use canadapost or usps or w.e you have in your area's website to calculate exact shipping, it's what a lot of ebay seller do.
