Hi thanks for letting me learn from you . I have a led tv or two that I want to sell the circuit boards on eBay , can I store them in Ziploc bags without hurting them or maybe cling wrap? Thank you

Anti static plastic would be better. Why do you feel the need to put them in ziploc bags? Do you live in a humid climate? If you end up using bags, put some silica packs inside at the very least.

I just thought i would do my best to protect them for whoever bought them I am brand new at electronics (two capacitors soldered under my belt so far) I just don't know the protocol. How would you ship a main board? Thanks

Just to add that you can get anti-static bags very easily on ebay. I've had some for ages, and use them all the time!

You can very well use ziploc bags only if you carefully wrap the whole pcb with aluminium foil. Just make sure you leave no gaps.

but a lot easier and cheaper just to use the correct bag for a start ;) ;)

True. I am just saying that if you already have both ziploc and foil.
