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.

    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.
