    So, I need to sell off my old computers parts, but the problem is, what the fuck do I ship them in? I don't have any anti static bags and they don't sell them around here. Is bubblewrap + a box a deadly combination? When I sent RAM to Crucial they told me to use a Ziploc bag. Anyway, suggestions?

    ziploc is fine. Just don't use styrofoam as they create static easily.

    yep ziploc bags are fine and i'd then cover that in bubble wrap just to keep them extra safe.

    So far ive never come across any electrical gear that be screwed by static . Generally a good strong plastic is ok. I guess im just lucky but generally i never wear a static wrist band or take any precautions. Also ive tested the "mobile phone will bring down an aircraft" theory and its crap. (the plane was on the ground but i was in the avionic bay at the time)
