Flight case packaging

[RobJF]

I'm getting ready to sell my FJB and unsure how best to package it. (Currently intending to put it on ebay, not in here, just because that's what I'm familiar with.)

It's in the original flight case and I have a single wall box that fits perfectly for width and depth but isn't quite long enough. I haven't been able to find any suitable boxes for sale, no "guitar box" I've seen on ebay is long enough, 125cm.

So is it reasonable to make up a "cap" to go over the end from bits of smaller boxes and plenty of parcel tape?

Or is there some other option for packaging flight cases that I'm not aware of? Lock it and send it off bare? (With labels obvs.)

I've done similar before.

So Have I on numerous occasions.

For a flightcase to be covered against damage by the insurance offered by most couriers it would probably need to be inside its own flightcase.

bubble wrap and parcel tape.
