Fold it into a paper towel, put it in an zip lock bag, put that into a larger bag thats full of packing peanuts, then put that into a cardboard box, and ship.

No no no..... Zip Lock bag doesn't equal anti-static bag. Do what he said basically, but instead of Zip Lock, find an anti-static bag from one of your old components, or your local PC shop.

If the CPU has pins, use some soft foam to cover the pins.

The plastic casing that it comes in is not anti-static either. But yea, anti-static bag would proly be better...if he has one.
