If anyone is the Pacific Northwest is interested in stocking up, SERF
at UBC has a couple pallets full of Maxell DSDD 5.25" floppies in sealed
boxes, and I'm sure you'd get a good deal.
All Electronics in Southern California often had DSDD 5.25" floppies
available as well. I think I was paying US$0.50 for a box of ten. No
idea if they have any left - this was a couple of years ago.

Surplus Equipment Recycling Facility. It's at UBC, which you can reach
by going West on 10th or 16th. Their regular sales are every second
Wednesday afternoon; Wednesday the 11th is their next sale. SERF is
on Agronomy Road inside the UBC Campus.
If you're interested in minicomputer-oriented stuff, stop by my house
and you'll be able to cart off all sorts of stuff as I pare things
down for my upcoming move. Everything from 9-track tape reels and drives
to 14" disk packs.
Tim.
