Happy to help

That scale I linked to is very good. Cheap but accurate and works up to 50lbs

Was unaware of that. Would like you recommend doing it yourself though as packing correctly is of paramount importance

Thanks again, hopefully I can get started soon.
No problem I am more than happy to answer when and where I can

When you have packing materials shipped to you from ebay or an online store, it is very unlikely that you would have to sign for them as they are not that valuable and therefore sellers/retailers would see signature-confirmed a waste of money

Feel free to PM if you have questions in the future and I'll do the best I can to answer them

Sorry to hear about your collection though, hope it's not too much of a down-sizing
