Can I safely store parts such as extra changer sensor boards, main boards, and other boards, like on bill validators, in plastic Ziploc bags? I don't want to harm anything with static. Which ones would be okay to store that way, and what would be a better way? Thanks in advance.

Unless you use a static bag I wouldn't use ziplock bags I prefer shrink rap. You can buy it in small rolls at office supplies or u-haul. Ziploc (i.e. Glad) bags feel static-ly to me I have used and received e-parts in a more "bulk style parts ziplock bag" and haven't had any issues. It just may be me but I do feel a difference in the bags so I shrink wrap, I have never researched it so side with caution. Just a thought.

always use anti-static bags for all computer peripherals and boards if you must put it in a bag use them! you can get them at most smaller computer parts stores (not a best buy) or probably very cheap online
