I could see a few thousand disks, NOT drives!, for a gimmick mailing,
souvenirs, etc.
I picked up 5,000 disks about 10 years ago, for $10 / flat (1,000 /
flat) at a back door sale at a storage unit. We were leaving ACP in
Santa Ana, and one of the units had the door up and stuff tossed out
with prices. Could also have picked up a stage smoke generator too for
$50. I had enough of those at home with unconditioned caps. Seemed
funny at the time.
He had huge piles he got from a former partner in the rent that had
acquired them from a service which turned out things like the annoying
AOL diskettes for mailers with some crap on it. With the label already
on it, the outfit scrapped about 100,000 of them. Not that big a pile.
I don't buy 3 1/2" diskettes anymore.
