Good packing material for GPU?

Zelenia

Hey,

 

I'm planning to sell my current GPU but I don't have original package left.

What kind of material I should get for it so it's safe to send through mail?  Should I get some antistatic bag and fill a box with pellets/foam or something?

 

And yeah, what kind of price range I should be looking for?  It still has 1 year of warranty left, I've been running it underclocked. Brand new it was I think 349€ but last time I saw this one for sale it was around 400€.

what gpu is it?

 

an anti static bag, along with some pellets/foam is fine, just make sure it's tight without wiggle room.

I've used an anti static bag wrapped inside a ton of bubble wrap and that worked fine. Better be safe than sorry with packaging. If possible, I'd also recommend insuring the shipment.

It's Asus TUF RTX 2060 6GB OC, yeah I'll start looking for packaging foam/pellets, antistatic bags seem to be plenty.

So a fitting box with an antistatic bag and bubble wrapper. "Fragile" for a package will cost 11€ extra so depending on buyer I might add that to the price.

 

Thank you for help. :)
