Sugarland Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Been a long time, 30 years, since I've mailed one too but try wrapping it in four layers of the big bubble, bubble wrap. Then in a box. Then fill the box voids with peanuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Looks good. I am sure somebody would love to buy. I would love to but 400 is too much for and old machine like that. I already have a busted SE in the basement collecting dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good advice. Cut to fit pool noodles are also very good packing material for CRTs. On 2/7/2022 at 6:34 PM, 0078265317 said: I would love to but 400 is too much for and old machine like that. That's honestly a pretty good price for the setup that he has. They go for more on eBay. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I kept some my retro stuff it would be worth that much too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I saw another method where you spray expanding insulation foam into garbage bags, it will form fit around the monitor in the box. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmonyFM Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I'm interested, would a Wii U with some digital games on it plus the screen controller do anything to knock the price down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! That never occurred to me, and I've used expanding foam for all kinds of things around the house. It's probably cheaper than a comparable amount of bubble wrap too.

Bee Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Atari used this method - You need to be careful that there is enough room for expansion. - FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid not. I have a Wii U Deluxe in pretty good shape. Mainly looking for physical games and another Wii remote. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagegamecrazy Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 If you want shipping advice on something that large then go to home Depot or whatever other hardware store sells the lengths of foam insulation pipe wrap. It can be cut down relatively easy and it's very sturdy and you can line a box with it. Makes incredibly good shipping material for something heavy like a monitor.
