What to use to wrap arcade games while loading and moving

I see people wrapping there games up with a clear plastic wrap. Where do you get it? Can you get that at places like lowes? I guess its the same stuff I have seen people use while moving furniture. I have never used it before, usually just use old comforters and such to protect. But if I go to this auction this weekend, good chance of rain. So I would need to put a tarp over it. I have used tarps before and they seem to mess up the cabs a little. So looking to better protect them from the weather.

Was thinking of wrapping them in the plastic, then use the old comforted and pillows in between the games, then cover with a tarp or two.
 
I get "Discounted" rolls of pallet shrinkwrap from work.

That reminds me, i need to "buy" some more.
 
I bought my shipping plastic from Uhaul (no shipping supply areas in my town). It came with like 600 ft. and has handles on both sides of the roll.
 
I need to find something locally. Can you buy it at the auctions at all? Figured they would be marked up there though if they sell it.
 
Home Depot sells the clear shrink wrap for around $20 a roll.
That should cover 2 to 3 games per roll.
I am in the process of a recent move and all of my games are shrink wrapped with appliance cardboard corners on the sides of each of them.
Works really well.
 
You might could try these, if you need any I have some left over that I didn't use last night, I decided to go natural as these were a little too snug

Got any friends who work for a manufacturing company? You can usually get a better price on industrial shrink wrap from one of them than you can from a retail shop like Walmart.

But U-line will get you a a good sized roll.

I'd call a favor in from a friend and get a roll that way.
