Oh good, so it wasn't a loss for them. Thanks.
Btw I emailed them and also asked what kind of quantity of those floppies
they have, and would they do bulk deals at the original price. 'For a friend'.
Still doing my best to keep driving the price up. :)

Plato was a humorless twat. Diogenes sounds like a really cool dude.
Today he would have been a hero-level philosophical Troll. Perhaps a great
leader for Gen-Z. Certainly Twitter and Facebook would have banned him,
and Amazon would be working on hunter-killer drones just for Diogenes.

I'd like to get a print of that Waterhouse painting, Diogenes, the pot, and lamp.
