No, I don't use old-assed boxes that are ready to fall apart. Everything
I have is still in very good condition and does the job. Nobody has ever
received anything from me that wasn't in the same condition as when it
left.

Nobody wants
to spend $10 to $20 on packing materials, especially if the
item is only $20-$100.
I disagree, I believe it really depends on what it is. Plus, if I
always make sure the buyer knows that packing will be well done, and
possibly more expensive then "normal". I try to incorporate a materials
cost into my shipping charge, if I have to buy more tape/peanuts, bubble
wrap, etc.
