Anti-Static Bags

I have been doing a big clear out at home and I have a few things I want to sell. I somehow seem to have less anti-static bags than I need.

How safe is it to post things like a GeForce470 without an antistatic bag? I have all the other packaging.

I have had cards sent to me in the past inside bubble wrap in cardboard boxes which worked fine when I got them. Not sure if there is any implications of sending a card like this though.

Otherwise maybe it's possible to buy some anti static bags from ebay? (I've not checked so not sure).

I would reccomend buying some anti static bags.

If you have a PC repair shop near you, they may have some spare (free

)

Grab some off the rainforrest or the fleabay, I really think OCUK should sell them though, would be a nice extra for them to offer with little space needed to keep them

I've fiddled around with things without wrist straps, whilst their on, with wet hands and crossed multi-meter poles on electronics before. Never once has the electronic been broken (although I got a few shocks in my time!

) but components could have been damaged in the proceeds but nothings failed yet!
