At a minimum, get an antistatic bag. Then wrap it around several times with newspaper and you should be set!

Antistatic packaging would help: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/Dk...%20X%204%22-ND

Also, you could call Intel help and ask.. but bubble wrap with an esd inside and the chip inside that should do it. Also warn buyers about the esd, ie, not to handle without grounding...

My buddy bought a CPU off of ebay and all the seller did was wrap tape all around the chip and wrap bubble wrap around it. Not suggesting you do the same but im just saying CPU's aren't as fragile as most think.

If you have the protective cover, it helps. But just antistatic bag and some foam padding works great.
