I am not sure if this is in the right place but im not sure where it would fit soooooo...

i want to sell my Fender acoustic on ebay. I don't play it because, as you know, it isn't a good match for me, so I wanna get rid of it so someone else can play it. BUT! I don't have a hardcase. I have a pretty heavy (1 inch foam) gigbag that i'd be willing to auction off as well ($80 value). Is it possible to ship this item without worry of damage? How do i go about packing it? i've never shipped something so large and relatively delicate before, so i need some tips if at all possible.

I was kinda hoping Nick would chime in here :wink:

Go to your local music sore and ask for a double box.Wrap the Axe in bubble wrap and pack the box with bubble wrap.Mark fragile on the box,nice and big like before you ship it. And most important off all make sure you insure it.

there's an option on ebay to sell to local buyers only. i forget what it's called. it's like forlocal pick-up or something to that affect. you could also try craigslist.
