I'm thinking of putting my Velodyne on ebay next week to try to get it
out of my spare bedroom. This thing is about 20" x 20" x 18" and
weighs about 90-100 lbs.

How on god's green earth could I ship this thing?

Check with the various shippers you are considering and find out what their
size and weight limits are.

If you don't have the original shipping carton, you can find a TV box and
carefully pack the sub. You can then use Fedex ground to ship it.

Maybe the Mfgr has a suitable shipping box that you could buy from them. I
regularly purchase shipping boxes that way to ensure that whatever I ship
gets there without any damage.

That would probably be the safest approach, since manufacturers include custom
shaped styrofoam pieces to secure the products in most cases. While such boxes
can be expensive, you might be able to defray part of it by asking the buyer to
share the costs with you.
