What do you need old junk for? What are you doing with it? I demand to know.
Really, disks? With a k???

I like old stuff

I have a box of IBM compatible floppies. Problem is I still use 'em.
Also have a Pentium II laptop. 256mb of RAM. 4gb hard drive. Windows 98. Still use it.
Have a Apple Classic some where. If I find it, it's probably broken. You can have it.

If you can find the Apple Classic that would be awesome! And how 'broken' is it? Cracked screen? Fried Motherboard? What? Either way i'll take it though..., PM me if you find it please

Q, you should make regular trips to thrift stores. They have old computer stuff there all the time. I bought a Commodore 64 for $15 earlier this year for a friend. I've never seen floppy disks at a thrift store, though. Seems like eBay has a lot of them, though. Here's an auction (http://www.ebay.com/itm/49-DS-HD-Diskettes-IBM-Formatted-Unused-Universal-00300-3-5-inch-/160698868562?pt=BI_Blank_Media&hash=item256a662352) for 49 disks for 99 cents, plus $8.00 shipping.
Though you could buy a flash drive with 50x the storage and no read/write errors for the same price.

Take a look in the electronic recycle bins at Target or Best Buy. You'd be surprised to find out how little of the stuff is even broken. In fact, I regularly sell cell phones from it for at least $20 apiece on Craigslist.
