I might be wrong, but I think for a nominal fee you can get custom made foam made.. and know UPS is pretty good at boxing up precious/easy to break valueables. So hopefully the buyer will up the extra $$ for the packaging. I'm wouldn't be as concerned about the bumps or physical problems as much as the constant movement or even EM fields it might come across... Hopefully the box will be packed nicely and have a note stating it's an electical device and to keep away from strong magnets etc. Might seem excessive but he did pay over $800 for it. -Josh :) BTW side note.. found an awesome small radio shack chess game at a yard sale. I still haven't been able to beat it. Was only $10 too :) so I'm happy.
