    Where would I get a few of these to post some stuff off, besides the obvious stores? (Which I am a bit away from)

    Is there anything that could replace it in the posting of ram and other parts, or is that just not advisable....

    Thanks

    Possibly cardboard. Cut up some of your cereal boxes and fit to suit. Standard bubblewrap might do the trick aswell. Loads of anti-static bags on ebay

    We have a good few floating around here from time to time (they usually get binned). If you want I'll post you down some ( I presume there's nothing wrong with reusing anti-static bags or do they lose their affect?)

    Garred, that would be super :)

    Ill give cardboard a go, looking to store a lot of parts on a temp basis, also need to post some parts off, and can't find any anti-static wrapping anywhere around the house!

    I used paper to store memory and I've had no problems. I'm short on the bags myself :(

    garred - if MobileInfantry don't take them all I wouldn't mind a few if you had em to spare :)
