So, whats an 8" floppy drive in unknown working
state worth?
Last I checked Aluminum Breakage is worth 16 cents per pound. Full Height 8"
Floppies weigh about 15 pounds so their scrap value is about $2.40 each.
Most Scrap dealers like to get twice scrap value when they do an outside sale
so a scrap dealer would likely put these drives aside if you offered him $5
each.
Hope this helps.
