I see lots like that sell on ebay all the time for like  $20, if they contain software theyll sell for slightly more. I'm pretty set on floppies now, but you shouldnt have much trouble selling these... especially with cases too.

Was planning on picking up some HD floppies to see how badly they worked.


Ive done that a few times and never had any problems... I have heard of people having serious data loss that way though. DD disks are still around and are cheap, its probably safer to use them for anything other than temporary stuff.

I'd say sending disks to a recycler or someone who can use them is much more responsible. Besides, there are more ecologically sound and appropriate things you can send back in those envelopes... dirt, for example.
