Ok, you just gave a bunch of reasons why they're even more worthless
than I originally thought, and why people bidding on them have clearly

don't get it. Would someone explain to me how a couple of old, dirty,
untested, belt driven floppy drives are worth this kind of money? And
why??
There's actual bidding going on. That's not just an asking price.
Because
they're actual Twiggy drives from a Lisa 1. A lot of them were
chucked during the Lisa 2 upgrades offered by Apple because the Twiggys were
slow and unreliable, but it's a great example of how not to design a floppy
drive. If I had deep pockets I'd be bidding too.
