What's the best way to post a PS2 games console?

Hi everyone,
I've got a PS2 on ebay at the moment, and I'm pondering the best way to post it, in terms of packaging and postage options.
For postage I'm thinking £15 for recorded delivery.
But for packaging, I'm a bit stuck. Can you buy those heavy duty plastic bags anywhere, the kind that are heat sealed? If you've ever bought a laptop, it's that kind of thing.
The unit will be boxed etc, but I need something sealable and waterproof. Any suggestions?

I normally well wrap items like that in thick bubble wrap and seal with parcel tape.
I always use an old box from Amazon etc rather than buying new. I well pad the box with thin carrier bags so that the item can't slide about.
Have sold lots of fragile items this way with no problems.Money SPENDING Expert0 -
Cheers. If I wrap up the components in bubble wrap and then bubble wrap the PS2 box, and then box up that box it should be ok. And as I will be charged on weight and not size it's shouldn't add more cost."I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0
