>>6886021>>6886156I’m finishing a basement room out. In a few weeks I’ll be moving my collection from being in shared space to its own dedicated space. I’ve been looking at retail display cabinets. The new ones I’m looking at run $500 to $900 depending on the shipping. The one i had picked out, obviously it would be freight and expensive to ship, but once I got to pay for shipping page, they indicated they’d only deliver to a loading dock because the shipping weight was almost 500lbs presumably. I decided I would investigate pawn shops and local based retail store supply companies. I’ve spent between 15-20k on my collection. It’s worth spending money on a expensive case
I do currently have 3 different kinds of ikea display cases. None look more impressive, nor show off what’s inside as well as my bank of detolfs. The other ikea cases have to much framing. The more wood then glass kind of hinders visibility of the interior.
I’ll probably put up some floating shelves. But to much of that looks trash.
So I’m going to troll around some pawn shops or vape stores going out of business to buy a used display case. Or after my room is finished and I’ve been in there for awhile, next Christmas I’ll spend 800$ on a retail display. Till then these are working fine.
