How to I prepare an old graphics card for shipping?
The best way to ship it back would be to pack it back into the anti static bag it was shipped in, and back into its original box (if you have it). If you have neither the box or the static packaging I would pick up an anti-static bag fitting your GPU dimensions somewhere on Amazon, there are quite a few retailers that sell them usually for around $2-$5 per bag depending on size. If you're lacking the original packing your local postage store, or office supply store should sell all sizes of boxes. get one that is well fitting to the card and doesn't leave too much space to jostle around. you should be fine shipping the anti-static bag taped shut into the well fitting box you found. Though is there is a little extra space in the box that makes you uncomfortable you can also get some bubble wrap at your office store, or post office. one or two layers should be enough. together it shouldn't run you more than ~$12.
