What packing material and container do you use to ship them? I just got (4) 4gig and (4) 2gig as well as lots of smaller ones in a computer lot I picked up yesterday. Would like to try selling them on Ebay but didn't know if they need to be mailed in one of those static free envelopes?
I wrap memory in plain kitchen paper towels, fold the ends and tape it shut. It pads and helps keep static away. When i was selling on Ebay, I shipped it all over the world like that and never had any complaints

Thank you Bear! Padded like that, would a flat rate envelope be enough support, or should I go with a padded envelope or a small rate box?
i'd go with padded or boxed myself. Flat envelopes often go through the machine, and i for one have been the recipient of an empty, shredded envelope, not a good feeling
So I listed some on Craigslist and just got back from selling some less than 6 hours later. I had a bunch of old hard drives and ram getting ready to ship out with an e-waste load, but instead just sold 6 hard drives and 8 sticks of ram for $84.
Not sure if that is good, bad, or great pricing, but it's a heck of a lot better than scrap price on untested stuff! Especially since I got all the stuff free in the first place...
For just one or two items, you can get the padded envelopes pretty cheap at the dollar tree stores, I think their two for $1.i'd go with padded or boxed myself.
