I'm getting ready to post my entire GI Joe collection for sale but I have a question re: photos. I've taken pictures of everything (and I mean everything!) and there are over 1,000 piks in all, coming in at around 500 MB (please don't ask how long it took to take all of them!). I believe that's too big for most email services (and the transfer rate would be excruciatingly slow) so I'm looking for ideas on how I can get the piks to potential buyers.
I could transfer via MSN but some people might not use it. I could maybe post to a website and let people download from there, but I don't know any sites offhand (that are free).
If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

photobucket would work quite well
Or find some free web hosting & put them all up there. I know Yahoo & Geocities used to be pretty good for that kind of thing.

They're already sorted into folders so that isn't an issue. But if I have to upload them one pik at a time to Photobucket, there's no way I'm going to do that! :p
You can upload more than one pic at a time....probably about 15-20.

Still to few when I've got around 1,000 piks. I think I'd be better off uploading a zipped file (or files) to a website and then letting people download it.

After you post your pics on photobucket, how can you link to them, so you can show others where to see them?
Copy and paste the link to your album, folder, or pic.

:D Yeah.. when you upload an image to a free hosting site.. they provide you with the Image Hosting URL.
You then simply copy and paste this URL into the base/body of your post here on the forums.. If you need a further explanation or any help etc.. PM me.. I'm usually flying around here or there. ;)
