Where's a good place to get a few anti-static bags?

November 29, 2006 8:52 AM

Where's a good place to buy a few anti-static bags? I'll be mailing a video card and some RAM to a friend of mine and I figured that a couple anti-static bags couldn't hurt.

The thing is, all the places online seem to be selling them in cartons of 100 or even 1000. Is there someplace where I could order, say, four of them? And, for what it's worth, I've already checked with my company's IT dept to see if they had any spare ;).

PS Though I have a slight preference toward buying online (so that I can avoid the crowds), I'm not opposed to a brick-and-mortar store if it comes down to it; I'm in Dallas TX, if that helps.

Make sure to send your mailing address, and let me know how big the video card is.

Fry's Electronics. I'm not sure if this is the same store I went to when I was in Texas, but if it is, it was basically a Sams-club for OEM computer parts. Geek heaven.

Oh, and they'd be used but in fine condition. Sorry to keep adding comments, but if you don't mind they're used then email me. I will shut up now.

2nd Fry's. Cheap too, from what I remember.

You can probably go to any local computer shop and get them for free.

Thanks for your offer, voidcontext. An e-mail is on its way :).
