I'm not personally selling these, just want to give a heads up for anyone interested. Most of you are familiar with the Athana 5.25" DS/DD floppies. I think they were the last company still producing them new.

Coleman's Military Surplus is selling cases of 500 for $150. If you need a bunch of floppies, I think this is the best price you will find anywhere per disk. After shipping and tax I paid $183.

My order was just delivered so I can confirm that they are actually in stock as the website says. I also have a one-time coupon for 10% off, which I will give to the first person to PM me.
 
Yes, 50 shrinkwrapped boxes of 10 each with sleeves and labels.
 
I will note that the labels don't stick very well. Probably going to buy some generic address labels and black stickers for write protect.
 
Thank you! Just ordered 50 and a geiger counter lol! Not a bad deal tbh... Don't hurt to have extras for the Apple IIs.=)
 
Nice, thanks for the heads up!
I now also have 10% code for someone - message me for it if you can use it.
 
Nice. Now I can realize my bucket-list dream of writing each and every Eamon adventure to physical media, just because. Without paying $2 per disk. :3

I'm going to have to get a bigger disk box, though............
 
If the dimensions are for a two pack, then each case would be about the size of a case storing 50 3.5" disks.
 
Hmm maybe. BTW I still have a coupon available for anybody that wants it.
 
I wonder how many they have. Hopefully their e-commerce software is smart enough not to oversell :)
