Plastic bag for sure, and styrofoam peanuts instead of newspaper. They
compress less so you can cram a bunch in and rigidise the packing, and
they weigh less too.
Go to a concern that gets stuff sent in and you no doubt can get some
for free. If your package gets wet, the newspaper will turn to sog. The
peanuts will not. (don't use the cellulose biodegradables, use real
styro.)
I save all my incoming peanuts and use them over. So people that receive
stuff from me could be getting peanuts from as many as 2 dozen different
maniacs from around the world at this point.
Thanks for asking about shipping, your buyer will appreciate it!

| Anyone got any general tips on packaging? I'm just about to send off an 8480 space shuttle. I'd like to put it in an extra cardboard box to make sure it's safe, though so far I've completely failed to scrounge any such boxes off work :( Assuming I (...)
