and
New 10 pack DS/DD 5.25 floppy disks - $5.25

Getting harder to find nowadays, but we have them. Combined shipping is available, of course:-)

That's too expensive for bulk diskettes. You can still find Imation branded in retail box for cheaper.

[redrumloa]

Go for it.

[adolescent]

Or people could just go directly to Athana like you did. Sure, the bulk pricing is needed, but there are other cheaper places with no quantity limits.

Point is, your disks are overpriced, and not rare at all.

but there are other cheaper places with no quantity limits.

But hasn't that basically always been the case with Amiga vendors? I mean, back in the day, most any place that carried Amigas also sold blank disks... But at a markup of 2-5x over the normal going rate for them from a trade show or discount specialist.

So some people might pay a little more for the convenience of purchasing some disks with their next order from Redrumloa. The rest will seek out the lower prices elsewhere. I don't think it's really anything to get upset about. (shrug)

Just because it's common practice doesn't mean it's acceptable. :-( I'm not upset, I just commented that his prices are too high (completely my opinion).

For example, 50 pack bulk 3.5" DS/DD $12.95

While I also think its a bit high (I've been getting DD for much less for years) I think he can charge what he wants. There isnt a magic link here that grabs your credit card info and charges you for looking at his offer.

What do you recomend for 10? Keeping in mind it'll be a low volume item. I'd lower it if I tought it would actually increase volume. $4 per 10? $3 per 10 :-?

Here are the prices as listed at floppydisks.com
500 disks:
$0.24 ea.
1,000 disks:
$0.19 ea.
5,000 disks:
$0.17 ea.
10,000 disks:
$0.15 ea.
Formatted disks
add $0.02 ea.

Not bad if you want that many at once.
there are other places too that offer free shipping I found, so I think your price is a bit steep. That still doesnt mean people MUST buy from him. You can all show like I just did, but thats where I got all of mine in the past. now I dont use them at all.

@Acill

Do you need 500 disks?

I rest my case:-D

[Acill]

I didnt say to get 500, I just said its not bad if you want that many. I also said you can go to other places. I dont want to get into a fight here. I know you can get them with free shipping from tigerdirect.com for $8.25 for a box of 25. thats still better.

Thats the end of any reply from me. I was defending you for the most part. Good luck on your venture.
