Na **** a tech store. They are such a specialty item these days that even in those cheap computer recycle stores new floppies are like 2$-4$ bucks each. WHACK ISH! go on eBay or garage sales Ive never paid more than 50 cents per disk. And sometimes you find huge lots for dirt cheap.

last year I bought a 100 box brand new... it had 10 of the 10 packs in it.. maxell brand. I payed 20 bucks because all were unopened and brand new.

haha yeah I paid $20 for 10 floppies. Ah well I needed them right away anyway. Guess I'll check out eBay or something next time
