I'm about to do an RMA but I don't have any anti-static bags for my GPU. Where's the best place to get them? First of all, I've checked on eBay, and a large number of them are small sizes, like 6" x 4". Ideally, I'd like to buy a bunch of large ones in bulk, big enough to hold a motherboard. I mean, a big one can hold small items if necessary, I figure.

I usually ask a local computer store if I only need one or two, and sometimes they have a spare, but not always. Or, is there a different way I can package a GPU, in which I don't even need an anti-static bag?

Okay, if not sytrofoam, and I don't have any anti static bags, then what else could I use for a GPU? For the GPU, rather than RMAing, I was actually thinking of selling it locally, and so I was wondering if I could transfer it to a buyer in something like newspapers or a plastic bag, which is then placed inside the original GPU's box. The box is tightly fitted inside, so the GPU wouldn't move around much.

The biggest mistake I made was throwing out the original anti static bag that the GPU came in, but oh well, I've learned that lesson now.
