    I'm pondering selling a mint Arai Condor in black. It's my pillion one, only
    worn a couple of times, by the ex. Anyway I was wondering about shipping it.
    I've still got the original box, but I'm a bit worried about it getting
    knocked in transit - obviously as they say if you knock them the protection
    may be compromised etc.

    So is the original Arai box protective enough to send the lid by courier or
    post, or should I try to get the buyer to collect?

    A cleverly disguised for sale post. Would've been better if you had
    included the location & size.

    Don't forget to mark it "Fragile", to make sure the sorting office
    single it out for a bit of footy practice ..

    Actually, I was thinking of whacking it on fleabay, but I suppose it can't
    hurt to offer it here. Location is NW London,
    size is M. Also has a clear pinlock insert. I don't know what's reasonable
    considering its mint-ness - 150 of your Earth pounds?

    Yes, but don't they come in containers or on pallets rather than being shipped
    individually?

    Hmm, 57-58 might fit me. Whereabouts in NW London are you?

    They're only 199 quid new, so it's not worth anywhere near 150 used.
