Bulk 5 1/4 inch floppy disk purchase
Anyone interested in a bulk NEW floppy disk purchase? If in my area (ny/nj) will be cheapest. I say this area because shipping will drive cost up but I'd gladly ship anywhere in the US once they arrive if wanted. Locals make out better of course. Price will work out to be between $.30 & $.40 each my cost for NEW floppies depending on quantity purchased and shipping cost to me. Your cost will be exactly the same as mine plus shipping to you. Obviously if in my neck of the woods we can meet half way. List quantities you want in this Conversation or email me directly. We get enough of an order I'll front the $$ for the purchase and collect once I can show the disks are in my possession if that makes people more comfortable. Tony Sent from my iPhone
I remember the days when brand name disks were $.10-.20 each, bulk blank label disks were .05-.07 each, but those days are long. On Thursday, December 31, 2015, Tony Bogan via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

-- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?

I still have several recent-production (less than 10 years old) supposedly Verbatim bulk bags, probably 750-1000 DSDD 5.25" floppies, if that's what you're after. I did a bulk purchase in college for a data recovery project. 0% error rate on the ones I've used and sold, and they seem to hold up pretty well (I've been using them with my Kaypro and Apple IIe). Thanks, Jonathah
I have probably a total of 35-40 blank, unused 5.25" floppies around left. I'd feel comfortable having around 100 blanks. But since I have so many machines from the 80's, if I ever had a place to set them all up, I'd end up chewing through them in no time.

Ok. My cost will be .30 per disk plus shipping cost to me. Disks are bare (no sleeves) bulk packed (not boxes of 10 or the like) Add .05 per disk for sleeves. Your cost will be whatever it costs me plus shipping to you, unless of course we meet locally. I need to know exactly what people want and if they want sleeves or not. Order is being placed on Thursday. Tony
