! and furthermore....Get a roll of bubble wrap to put around the LDs. The Priority Mailer boxes @ the P.O. are fine. That chain that sells packing material and takes shipping drop-offs proably has LD/LP size boxes too. I get mine from a used record shop. You might want to group LD sales, the common run of the mill titles anyway, in lots of 4, 6, 10, or there abouts. I'd sell any rare titles singley.
LD's, single discs, weigh about 1 lb. each. If you sell larger lots of LDs I'd take them to a packing company and get a box cut for them. Again, wrap the discs singley or colectively in bubble wrap. LD's edges are their weak spot. If they split, rot begins.
I've shipped three LD players. Two out of three made their destination unbroken. They were all double-boxed. I take the Pioneer box to the box company down the street and get a slightly larger box and stuff the space with filler. Double-box!! UPS and FEDEX are both rough on occasion!!! Unless you're selling an LD-S2 or somethin' like that. You'll be able to box and ship in the 15 to $25 range to the lower 48. Good luck with it!
