Hi All?

I need a picture frame for a large picture, it measures 20?x34? Locally we have a place called Christmas Tree Shops and the biggest I can find is 20x28? for about $16. Not bad, but not the best.

Anyone know of a store (Wal-Mart maybe??) that would have a picture frame of this size without ripping me off??. I tried walmart.com and its impossible to search there for something like this?

I'd be willing to pay $20-30 tops for a decent to good frame of this size.

Yeah I have been looking for movie poster sized frames at a reasonable rate for quite some time. The cheapest I could find was on eBay... But you never know what you are going to get from there.

Marked... Hopefully someone out there knows a good place.

Sorry if I didn't say, but I want the frame and the glass or Lucite or whatever it may be. Getting all of this from eBay may be a challenge..

Unless.......I could buy the frame from eBay and buy the glass at a local hardware store?

Do it yourself and it's cheaper... but craft stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, et al. are your best bet. Just remember, you get what you pay for.

The REAL difficult part is realizing that most posters are not standard sizes and you'll probably either have to mount the poster to make it look good, or trim a little off the edges.

Hobby Lobby has frames half off about every other week. Also, try AmericanFrame.com.

$20-30 for a frame that size isn't much, so you need to adjust your quality expectation.

Since you specified large, alternator size is out of the question. :laugh:

But what if he's talking about bulk amounts... maybe 10 feet of framing or so?
