there was no comma in 15 000
could it have been a typo, intended to be 15?
Yes, wondered that myself - perhaps '15.000' given the space after the 15,
as though a character maybe got dropped in some message conversion along
the way (although it's strange to see someone writing three trailing zeros;
two might be more common, albeit still unusual).
I could see a few thousand disks, NOT drives!, for a

souvenirs, etc.
Indeed - the "new in box" requirement seems a little odd for drives, but
perhaps not for disks if they were to be given away (and so needed to be blank)
