I just started reselling. I'm always worried I overpack. But I also worry about not packing good enough. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I tend to put every item a gift bag style plastic bag, then bubble wrap, then pack it in the box with packing paper or air cushions if I have them from leftover stuff. I'm glad to see other people worried about their quality of packing also.

Just came across your column staining project. Was the stain you used water based or oil based? Looks great! I just wrapped my posts with cypress and trying to figure out what stain to use. Thanks

What is the measurement from the ground to the upper part of your fender well lips? I put a 4 inch lift coil over on my 2022 and I'm 47 in the back and 48 in the front. Was taller than I was hoping for

Well first I recommend buying a little at a time. Thats what we did. If you use your phone as your camera that will save you alot. I would say $200 will get you all the lights and photo paper you need. You dont necessary need the mannequin or the box lights. Circle light is a must. Hope this helps!

Thats a great question, I havent noticed reflections being that bad. However I have lowered the intensity of my circle light and used more of my box lights since they have a softer glow (difuser cover) on them. Hope this helps.
