On the other side of the coin... I once tried to
sell a couple
Chilton's car manuals. The shipping price I quoted was the cost
of a "If it fits, it ships" USPS envelope. eBay refused to let
me do it claiming the shipping charges were too high. I haven't
tried selling anything on eBay since. (and I have a lot of stuff
that just screams to be sold there!!)
"Media mail" is the only practical option for those.
And, blank, or user-written diskettes don't qualify; according to the
post-office, only commercially written disks.
