Guys I bought an Amiga with over 7,500 Pirated Amiga Warez Disks And
Demos, you name it its on these disks.
Just looking to sell them cheap to someone outright who will archive
them and post them online for everyone. Like 250 dollars for the
entire lot cheap. And they will ship media mail even cheaper

After you archive them the disk images have a home at archive.org.

One thing to keep in mind is a likely large number of virus infected disks/games. Probably
fun collection though.

We have ways to deal with virus infected disks, and the viruses, etc. My
official email is jscott at archive.org, and people can send me whatever size
sets of disk images they'd like.

Of course, most of them are likely to be in the TOSEC archive and thus are
already on archive.org:

I've got a nontrivial pile of Amiga floppies, and I've been slowly archiving
and de-duping against TOSEC. At some point I'll likely have a useful collection
of things. How do I go about submitting those to the Internet Archive? The site
seems somewhat opaque on this!

E-mail me. I run software at archive.org, I'll help you get them in. (And
get the examples you find over to TOSEC.)

Think its worth making images of them nomatter what,they might have
differnt crackintro and ways around a copyprotection, which is atleast as
interessting as the games themself.
Also if they have been mailswapped discs, the swappers offen made unique
labels or painted directly on the discs, but that was more a demoscene
thing, so that might not apply those discs.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way. It's just an ingenious piece of
technology designed for tasks like this (and more).

It's a cute device, but not really necessary for this task if you already have
a working Amiga knocking about.
I use SuperDuper[0] configured to read Amiga disks to a file. Most of the disks
are copies made twenty years ago with the same software! I use a passive CF
adaptor plugged into the A1200's PCMCIA slot, again using a driver from
Aminet[1], and I use this to transfer the files. SuperDuper writes disk images
in a custom IFF format, so I wrote a Perl script[2] to convert to ADF.
Thus I didn't have to spend any money on new hardware :)
