Zip Disks

Posted by: bibilit on 2013-10-06 09:43:32 Picked up this morning a box of 10 new Zip disks (100 Mb) The box is nicely decorated (looks like a classic car) and disks are still wrapped in the box. Was just 1 € the set so it's a very nice price as well 🙂

Posted by: CelGen on 2013-10-06 10:11:34 Wow, I've never seen it in store packaging like that. Would of placed them on the same shelf and packs of Skittles and Mars bars?

Posted by: uniserver on 2013-10-06 10:23:25 Packaging reminds me of this. Anyone collected these back in the day? Masterpieces were pretty nice.

Posted by: Cory5412 on 2013-10-09 16:55:21 These pictures are great. (But I always like pictures of removable storage media.) I wonder if that packaging was meant to be wholesale packaging. If you buy things at a store like Costco or Sam's Club (in the US) you often get items that are packaged for resale. Do the individual Zip disks have price tags on them?

Posted by: bibilit on 2013-10-09 23:28:44 Do the individual Zip disks have price tags on them? No price tag, but this pack maybe never reach the shelf.

Posted by: LCGuy on 2013-10-09 23:58:56 I second Cory - I'd be willing to put money on this being wholesale packaging, with the Zip carts intended for seperate sale. And Costco...hmm - that reminds me...I really should sign up for the Costco here in Sydney sometime.

Posted by: Ike on 2013-11-15 09:53:04 Seems like it, just look at the instructions on how to fold the packaging like a display unit 🙂 looks really interesting. I really should get some zip-disks myself someday...
