  • I can’t say I’ve ever had second hand electronic devices (devices like a switch…not components like RAM, HDDs, GPU) shipped wrapped in anti-static bags. Completely unnecessary imo. The card, as it’s a component, may have been nice to have in a bag, but if it was cheap-ish, I wouldn’t really care.

    Anecdotally, I’ve been working with electronics for decades, never using any of those grounding bracelets, or anti static mats. And never once had a problem. Could static cause damage…yeah, probably, but there is a far far greater risk of physical damage than from static.
