Like it really costs $9.95 to ship a floppy drive -- get real!

Rip off alert!

 

[mjquilly]

I'll agree, $10 does seem high, but almost every site pricewatch.com brings up charges $10 or more also.

I buy these local for $11.00 so whats the deal...
nice try though, at least you posted something, keep trying, keep looking...

 

[tinhrdep]

darn it, i really needed a floppy drive too. for a new computer. well anyone know of any other deal going on?

 

[zoiks]

Id rather pay more for the merchandise than for shipping.

 

[CyberTiger]

i got a teac floppy from buy.com for about $16.

 

[classy]

I can buy local TEAC floppy drives for $14 everyday.

 

[office boy]

I hate to say it, but look used for floppy drives. I just got a bunch (6) on Egay, and with shipping it worked out to just under $5 each....
they all work too
oh and 4 Panasonic, 1 Sony, and 1 generic.

$9.95 for shipping? I bought my floppy for $4 and it works fine. I refuse to get ripped off with their shipping charge.

I wish they'd be reasonable about something like a floppy drive. I've been to computer shops locally that try to sell them for $30... CD roms don't even cost that anymore! I guess if they can't rip you off on the expensive stuff they're trying to get you on the cheap stuff that you'd normally expect to be free.

Heck, drop by your local Goodwill and see. I've picked up a couple ancient systems for $3.. get good old floppy drives, some damn nice cases (though who needs a nice AT desktop case anymore?) and some 386 motherboards to use as wall art. Plus cables, connectors, and the ever necessary screws.

Bonus is you get to look at all the stuff people forget to delete. Not that I'd do that. Did play Carmen Sandiego on the 286 before I disassembled it though

I found some old early 80's pr0n on a donated laptop once... that was pretty funny

 

[Big_Al]

i just ordered a alps floppy drive from www.cedirect.com for $12, and they didn't charge me shipping, only tax, since i'm also in washington, where they're at. haven't received it yet, hope they have good service.

Walmart has hi-val floppy drive for $20

 

[cmv]

Could combine the $10 off coupon for a total w/ shipping of $9.95 (or $9.99?)...

 

[bafuu]

Onvia has the same drive for 14.64 + free shipping. I would rather get it from onvia.

amonline is selling floppies in the FOR SALE/TRADE section of the forum, do a search for his posts, he should be able to help you out.

"-Clean top name brand 1.44 normal beige front 3.5" floppy drives. Removed from late model systems. You would think these were new if we did not tell you! $6.87 WOW !!!

Taken from Netseller - this company was advertised in another post for having some cheap PS2 Dell Keyboard, and they also advertised floppies..

Pretender, some of us like to be able to flash our BIOS's

 

[HappyFace]

If you're looking for floppy drives, buy them used from me or amonline. I'm selling them for $9.80 shipped. No, that's not my shipping price. That's my price for each, shipped! Buy more than one and save even more. Hurry because I only have 9 left, and they're going fast! :Q
