Anti-static bags

[Coombzy]

So, i'm upgrading my graphics card soon, and in order to keep the old one safe for selling, I need to get an anti-static bag.

I've looked around and found some on eBay, but i'm not sure which one to buy. Help would be appreciated.

There are the ones i've found:

I've seen anti-static bags in office supply stores, you can try there.

This is why I keep my boxes and anti-static bags when I buy new, in case I need to sell my stuff. The dude who I sold my 770's to was like "Wow, I honestly wasn't expecting the box to be in this good of shape, or you to even have kept the anti-static bags."

 

Like, yeah, man. 

 

 

Anyways though, get the second one.

first and kast are 100 pack, why do you need 100?

 

Just get the 2nd one and get separate bubble wrap when packaging.

The pink bags that claim to be anti-static actually aren't, they don't build up a charge which is good but it doesn't actually protect the electrical device for static.

I have the box, I just got rid of the bag for a reason I can't remember.

I don't need 100. I need one, but there doesn't appear to be an option for 1.

i've actually done testing between the 2nd and 3rd kind of antistatc bag.

 

the 3rd one is better, but not to a point you should care.

There's ten in each 'quantity'. It's significantly less than the other options.

 

And I'm talking about this one, the second link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-Anti-Static-Conductive-Bags-150mm-x-200mm-6-x-8-1st-CLASS-POST-/291312972100?hash=item43d39b3144

Are the dimensions big enough to fit a reference Nvidia card in?

Not that card, no.

[zzenigmaxzz]

you could just use the bag the new one comes in to sell your old one

Kloaked is right  

[HumbleMobo]

Fun fact, anti static bags can be recycled as condoms

[GoldSrc]

Get the third one, that one provides anti static-shielding, the others don't.

When you buy your new card tell them you need a second bag, I am sure they have a bunch in the back room. You drop 100 to 200 bucks on a new card they can throw you a second bag.
