Question Best way to ship a huge video card without the original retail packaging

[Dave3000]

What would be the best way to ship a huge video card without the retail packaging? Would placing it in an anti-static bag, then wrap bubble wrap around it and then put it in the shipping box then for the leftover space inside the box, dump shipping peanuts or shipping bubbles in the box? Is there a better way or should I just try to sell it locally and have the buyer pick it up? The card is an EVGA 1080 Ti SC Black Edition.

I prefer selling physically, as product can't get "lost", also you can show that it is in working order.

What if you don't have the old video card installed? What if you don't want the buyer come inside your home?

Antistatic bag for sure. Use plenty of packing material, packing paper, bubble wrap, packing peanuts to make sure there is no empty room inside the box for the videocard to bounce around. If you can - double box it, smaller box around videocard, and outer box to protect against the shipping crush. If you cannot double box, pick a box that is sufficiently big. If you're shipping in US USPS priority shipping only cares about weight, so you don't have to worry about bigger box affecting your shipping rates.
