reachforthesky Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I was at walmart the other day in the photo department and saw these 5x8 photo storage boxes for $5.99 each. They work great for storing 7" records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruiser873 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 How many 7s can it hold? THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reachforthesky Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 mine's at about half full right now with 40, so I would say around 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar71888 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 good call. i'll have to grab one next time i'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Awesome find dude. This is perfect especially because my kitten keeps trying to eat my 45's. The little bitch doesn't want the LP's.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcm1610 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Word, because my shoebox is no longer able to hold all of my 7". I was just thinking this morning about where I was going to store some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillhole Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 damn! I wish I saw this before I ordered one of those long ugly white boxes made for 7's. I still might pick up one of these as it looks WAY better than that white box I got now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewc Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 How deep are they? Do they basically take up the full depth of your expedit? (so like 13"s or so) or is there some dead space behind the box on the shelf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be reading it wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabpower Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I got the 7" box from sleevetown. It's quite alright for 6,99$ even if it got called "the ugly white box" earlier. Make a good use of all those ugly stickers you got with your LP orders and cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 walmart also sells "mini milk crates" for a buck. theyre usually in the storage bin areas and work perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manicdogbert Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 damn! I wish I saw this before I ordered one of those long ugly white boxes made for 7's. I still might pick up one of these as it looks WAY better than that white box I got now. i'd rather buy one of those "ugly white boxes" that holds 150 7"s for $5 instead of paying $6 for a box that holds only 80 7"s.

catalinacaper Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Except it isn't $5 for one of those boxes for me. I rang it up and its just under $20 for two which is the minimum quantity they offer... as far as I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drrakethefake Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I've been using an Adidas shoe box which is started to fill up as well as fall apart. Reeeaaalll good find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reachforthesky Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 The box is shorter than the depth of the expedit. I don't need a box that holds 150 7" records as I don't have that many and probably will never get that many. Just wanted something that held what I have, and looks good on the shelf. Plus it's easily available at walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a good use of all those ugly stickers you got with your LP orders and cover it. That's exactly the ugly white box I was talking about. It perfect sized, durable as hell, but ugly as sin. I may have to "decorate" it with some of those stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Another Tom Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 You can also get a similar box to the one in the original post from Ikea. 2 for $4.99. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40185841 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 where did you get the whole shelf (or whatever you call it). seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 where did you get the whole shelf (or whatever you call it). seriously. Are you asking about his Ikea Expedit? It's the most popular record storage shelving unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 yeah that's it thanks. I can't find that certain one on their site though, what category would it be under? edit - nevermind, I found it. I'll probably get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the most popular record storage shelving unit. Ya just better hope you got a store close to you. The shipping charges are OUTRAGEOUS, like 250 bucks. I would have gone that route myself, but not for that shipping price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yeah, the closest one to me is about 45 minutes away, but we go there every so often, so that wouldn't be a problem. and $250? that's ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillhole Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Sweet! Your set! I wish there was one 45 minutes away. Closest to me is NYC, so 4-5 hours away. Yea, 250 bucks was the actual price when I went to the online checkout. They are easily the best looking unit out there besides custom built. Ok, I'm done thread jacking.
