    I would like to pack away my bells as I am tired of them...at least for awhile. They probably are worth anywhere from $5.00 to $200. a piece. What is the best way to pack them...they are all sizes. Should I use a certain type of paper to wrap them? Thanks!

    Bubble wrap!
    if any are ceramic, do not store in an area where dampness might be a potential issue

    I just packed away 200+ bells of my own when we moved. I don't think I will be displaying them again in the new house.

    I wrapped mine in white tissue paper. Then in the box voids, I put unprinted newspaper so the bells don't shift around.

    I will probably get them out soon and start listing them on eBay unless I can sell all of them to one person.
