antistatic bags

[SecSpyral]

Are they really necessary? I just sold some of my parts (GPU, HDD, CPU) etc. and someones coming to pick them up on friday, do I need to put them in some special packaging like anti-static bags or something? Sorry for my ignorance I just have never had to deal with this before.

It would be a very good idea if the parts are going to be transported.

The buyer will probably just roll their eyes at you for it though.

Yes, they are necessary. ESD can kill components, but it mostly has a latent effect, so it would be best to protect against it.
