the only practical reason for owning one of these, AFAICed, is to have some extra
*resolution* if you will for the purpose of imagine some bizarro disk (maybe I'm even
way off). I really shouldn't get involved, but at least I'm open to discussion.
I had a mobo shipped from the UK recently and that only cost 20$. If perhaps I had them
shipped to me, I could do better on the shipping. E-mail me if you haven't gotten any
other offers.

Hi guys,
I'm toying with the idea of importing a couple of Hitachi
HFD532EIU 5.25in 2.4MB floppy drives from the USA. Thing is,
the postage on these is rather steep -- they won't quite fit
into a USPS Small flat-rate box, and the next size up is the
$47.50 Medium International flat-rate box (or $65 via
Priority Mail in the seller's own box... yeah, right).
So here's the question.
Given that each drive costs $15, plus $47.50 shipping for
all three, would anyone be interested in taking one or two
of these drives off my hands for the cost of the drive, plus
a contribution towards the original postage fee (the $48)?
(I'm also open to offers along the lines of "I have a spare
you can have for less money!" -- I only need one drive, and
maybe a spare)
Thanks,
-- Phil.
