I might be wrong, but I am 99.9999% sure the floppies in that ad are fake...



See how they all conveniently use the same size label, in the same position with the same iffy-looking white border, lacking copyright info. My jpeg-o-meter went into overdrive!

A quick Google shows none of the pictured titles having floppies that look like that.

I suspect someone has discovered ADT Pro and bought a label printer.

The ad for the //c also sounds iffy and the price is not great. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sou...screen-apple-2c-software-old-apple/1146171988

Makes it ironic when he signs off the ad with "GENUINE BUYERS ONLY" - along with the story about his Grandfather, which is the ultimate getout clause for lying in a listing... "but my grampa said..!"

Some labels have come unstuck

As all "modern" labels do.

Nothing wrong with selling crufty copies as long you only expect to get the price of the media itself. At 10$ a disk, however, this guy is trying to rip people off.

I you want NOS, older labels that don't come unstuck:

I'm with the 'attempted ripoff" crowd. You could sell the blank media for maybe $1 a disk--or attach a fake label without making any representations and ask for $10.
