Are there any good storage solutions for PCGS slabs around? I am looking to get some of these blue PCGS boxes. But reasonably priced ones are so hard to find here in Australia.

Apologies if this has been asked before here.

You get them when a submission is returned.
Some of the PCGS dealers may be able to help you out.
Eric normally sells them for $10 a box at shows.

Dammit should have picked several up from you and Eric last time in ANDA.

You are the best!

There is also this option... around the same - $20 each but no shipping: http://www.sterlingcurrency.com.au/items/pcgs-blue-storage-boxes-hold-20-coins
Those boxes sell for much less in the US. There are listings on US eBay where they are under $4 for boxes that have been used once (to ship from PCGS to the dealer) and are as good as new. New never used boxes sell for under $10 (one is 8.29 USD which is about 9AUD). Outside eBay I found a coin accessories dealer offering them for 6.29 USD from his online store.
Might be a niche market for someone like PP. Could be a problem that freight from the US or to the customer from the local supplier seems to be more than the slabs initial costs.
If you get a group together interested in buying then I saw 40 new boxes for 320.87USD (including priority shipping to Australia). That is under $10 (Australian) for new boxes.
Postage is what really hurts.

Especially the corners - they can really smart if the package falls on you!
I've ordered 7 for around $USD 6-7 each from an US eBay seller. That should keep me going for a while. :D :D :D
I haven't bought from an international seller for a while. Their Global Shipping program is a huge improvement from the old days with tracking including.
did they hit you hard for postage?
US$29.99 for the 7 boxes + $18.71 for postage.
i.e. USD$6.95 each, or AUD$8.20.
So yes that's a lot compare to the cost of the item itself.
apx $5.50 US dollars each is still a pretty good price mate

Are they once used boxes or brand new?
At that price (even with shipping) it is almost better to pay the extra dollar or 2 and buy from the likes of Eric at the show and benefit from the chit chat and the contact.

They are "lightly" used.
I agree... I would definitely buy from Eric if I can. I didn't see him in the Petersham show in Nov though. :( And no one have inexpensive boxes or alternatives there. (Some what off topic - the show was definitely more about stamps than coins.)
I was also thinking - storage costs are a drain. I want to minimize money spend on it and maximize my budget for actual coins. :) Will have a chance for chitchat when I put my hard earned savings on them in the shows. :yahoo:
Yes. RG it wasn't too bad even with postage.
