[GreenKeys] Oops, I got an ASR-33, what is the best current practice for securing for shipment?

[Aaron Nabil]

The unit appears NOS/unused (look at the typewheel), although he doesn't
mention it I'm guessing it's in Bound Brook, NJ.   If someone on the list
wanted it and could pick it up, I'd be happy to pass it on.  Sorry, not
willing to get in the middle of loop if it's shipped someplace, only local
pickup, assuming the seller is amenable.  I haven't paid him yet, if anyone
is interested contact me immediately (I'm hoping he'll knock the shipping
off for pickup).
