I think that’s the same price used floppies cost from sellers in the back of computer shopper back in the early 90s. 50¢ each.floppydisk.com sells used ("recycled") disks 50 for $25. Not a great price for used disks but they are all tested.

We used to do the same as a group to get a better price for bulk quantities. IIRC it was MEI Micro before they opened numerous stores under the Microcenter nameI used to order bulk floppies from a company found in computer shopper in the 90's, they worked well at thew time. The last batch of floppy disks I purchased were Imation 10 packs purchased in bulk from ebay and I used most of them I think.
Unfortunately that is the downside of ebay, so true. But when it's a "hit", it sure feels good ;-) and likewise the "miss" is quite frustrating!eBay is hit or miss. I bought a package of disks and half were bad. You never know what conditions the disks were stored in.
Nobody is manufacturing floppies anymore, so even though they are "new" they are old stock. No different than buying new old stock (NOS) from ebay. $2/disk is also pricey.Is nobody reading my posts? You can just buy em new on the interweb-thingy.
