I'll look for the cord where I got the set and see if it happens to be laying around. If not I'll fudge one up like you said.

Pretty much. It is also a good idea to know about how big the box(es) will be since there is a thing called 'dimensional weight' that shippers like to charge on large-ish boxes. The few times I've sent things by mail I've packed them as good as I've felt necessary to survive being drop-kicked by the automated sorting machines, and then brought them to the post office for a quote (if buyer likes it I ship, if buyer passes I unpack). I'm in no hurry to get them (if shipping cost don't scare me off
) so ask for the cheapest option no matter how slow it is. Tracking is nice to have on packages if available.
Good luck on the cord quest.
