If Old Dominion Freight Lines is by both the shipper and receiver, you
can very cheaply ship this item. Cheapest way is for the seller to
drop it off at their terminal and the buyer to pick it up from the
terminal on their end.... they will do pickup and home delivery ... but
the costs go up. I don't know if they offer a packing option.

I've had two games shipped by them... Joust II and an Asteroids. Both
arrived in great shape. The Joust II was fully crated (under the
idea that ODFL required that), and the Asteroids was strapped onto a
pallet (with ratcheting tie downs) and then wrapped and 'boxed' with
cardboard.

I've never seen a quantum myself, but it would be nice for someone
to bring this one back to life.

Just wanted to pass along what I found to be a economical way to ship
vids.

Best of luck on whomever picks up this (it is sickening that it was
converted to SF... ick ick ick.... but thankfully they didn't paint
over, remove, or otherwise destroy the side art !).
