You should read the *entire* post before commenting.
$1 each = $10/box of TEN which is clearly what the post you truncated and the previous post by k2x4b524[ mentioned. Jeez Juul!
@ $10/box of ten the individual price = $1.
@ $2.50/box of ten the individual price = $.25
BTW, how does 'someone who doesn't have an internet connection with Google on it' get to eBay to even know this???
Math & reading lesson over.
My "math" is acceptable and my understanding of English is very good. I adhere to the Fowlers as best as I can - yes both of them. Heart's Rules is always close at hand, and I heartily recommend Strunk and White which, if you are American, is probably already in your library. Yes, English is my second language but I didn't learn it in the street, nor from television. At this point I've been speaking and writing it for 54 years. Certainly I don't claim to be perfect, nor wish to be, but there is no need to be rude.
Regarding "an internet connection with Google on it", that is a literary device and if it doesn't mean anything to you, then don't worry about it. I didn't mean to confuse you, but I'm sorry if I did.
This thread, however, is about the price of floppies. Here is your original post, verbatim:
I see now that you were working directly off the previous post without quoting it. That is not the *entire* post. If the non-parallel structure within your post was deliberate and intended as a literary device I apologise for not "getting it". So, we're not talking about a unit price in packages of ten, but rather the total price. That is indeed very good and I would have no problem recommending you as a source.Stone:
On the high end they seem to be in the $9 - $10 range on eBay.
On the low end I've been selling them for $2.50.
The prices above are for new, sealed boxes of ten.
