Hardware How Would I Go About Shipping a CPU?

[Skyshadow101]

Looking to sell my old CPU (i3 6100). I have the clamshell that came with the i7 6700k I ordered, and it's a perfect fit. I don't have the original box, only a clamshell for the CPU. Should I just wrap it in bubble wrap and call it a day, or should I get an anti-static bag to put it in?

Yes lots of bubble wrap

anti-static would indeed be preferable, but the clamshell mitigates that considerably, too. Bubble wrap is also a plus.

Put it in the clamshell and wrap it with bubble wrap and find a cardboard box to ship it in.

Thanks for the replies! I'll be shipping it in the clamshell with bubble wrap!
