RE-PC sells all kind of computer parts.

http://www.repc.com/

Anything in a computer, PC or Mac, it's there

All kind of sun boxes and servers. Printers of all types (even apple ones)

Thousands of unopened Apple printer inks.

Software and books too.

So, I got 500 5 1/4" brand new Floppy disks for about 2 bucks.

A Keyboard and mouse for my Mac Plus for 5 bucks.

A users guide for my Performa for 1 buck.

And, a Brand new USB Floppy Drive for 20 bucks.

Good day today!

That is pretty nice. Did you go to the one in Tukwila or in Seattle?

Years ago I used to be very familiar with both locations, and most of the staff at each. I wasn't too happy with the Mac support/sales staff in Seattle, but I didn't go there too often anyway, (in Tukwila more often.)

Anyway, congrats on the great haul, that's a good amount of floppies for so cheap!

Any old 68K Mac apps there?

I like the selection at the Tukwila one better, but the Seattle one (The one I went to) is much smaller, but has more mac stuff. Also, the Seattle one is closest to my father's place (I am visiting him).

360K disks have the reinforcing hub in the center, the 1.2MB ones do not.

How much does the software cost?

Is that hub visable? (I think they are 1.2MB. And the software prices vary.
