They confirmed my order. Fingers crossed they actually ship them, and it doesn't
turn into an argument about honoring transactions. Though probably, a higher postage
cost would be fair. 88 floppies and covers will weigh a bit. (Should have bought 100.)

That's an easily altered market. I am a lovely butterfly, fear my flapping wings!

Weren't these 89 cents when this was first posted? Well they're $1.89 now.
You're altering the market!

At least shipping is cheap.
Never seen a 4 pack before. I still have tons of green 5.25" DD disks I
picked up bulk when I got into 8 bit computers in the early 2000's.
Duplicators were dumping them so cheap back then, wish I would have snagged
more of the 3.5" DD back then.

About two years ago, a seller on eBay was dumping a large quantity of
DSQD (certified 96tpi double density) diskettes. I needed these for my
3B2, so I bought up the entire stock. I still wish I could find more!
[As a side note: Good quality DSDD should work fine, but in my personal
experience, anything other than top-top-top quality DSDD has trouble]

The magic of automatic reactive pricing systems, I guess.
I received my package from BG Micro today with the disks and a few
other items (including a IBM PC Convertible 128K RAM card - never know
when I'll need one of those. Comes with original $190 Sears price
tag!)
I was happy to see that the floppies came with sleeves bearing the old
Compaq logo. Very classy! No clue if the disks are any good but they
do appear to be 360K media.
