how do you store these dies safely so they don't get ruined?

I just store mine in the hard plastic see-through sleeve that they are packaged in. Since it is hard plastic, it is all you need to store these dies and it keeps them safe!

I store them in a ziploc bag with the air pressed out. Store in the cabinet away from light, not the refrigerator.

As far as I know they can be stored. I have them sent from Amazon on an auto shipment every 6 months.

They need to be stored elsewhere. There is not a "built in" place for them in the table.

They should be kept in an air tight container -- but you could store them in the fridge or even the freezer. Albanese also has a website you could visit for details or questions. http://www.albanesecandy.com/

They are not sealed; you can see this in the product photo. However, I guess you could relubricate them.

Yes the dies are removable. I think you would have to contact the company that made the unit to see if they had replacement or inter-changeable dies. Sorry I couln't be of more help.

Although I have never done this I am an engineer and it should not lose its springiness over time. BUT I WOULD NOT store them that way, I don't know what you mean by over time?

Don't have any unopened boxes at this point as I usually open them and take out teh ink wells and store them in a Tuuperware type plastic container. But I've kept ink well for over 6 months without any problem...

There is no need to store unless there is a prolonged period of non-use. I put deflated slide over my fence to get it dry and off the ground and used it several days in a row

Mine are not stored in a plastic bag--I have some quite old and they are fine........once they get too pitted--I throw them out!

I just lay them in the storage compartment of my camper. I make sure they're sitting on top of anything else that might be in there. 2 years later, they are still fine.

There are tons of dies available from many different companies. There are great deals on older ones but they are usually the basic ones that I use the most. i purchase most of mine online and find good deals on them.

In my house, not very long. I go through them pretty quickly. I would probably be comfortable storing them at least a year.

No just run it through. Be sure to put the little square provided inside the open space. (I think it may hold the paper steady). These dies are a dream to use. Enjoy!

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

You can store them in the refrig which preserves them. They come in a dark-colored bottle which protects them from light.
