     Here's some info from the FAQs:
 
GarberStreet Enterprises ( http://garberstreet.netfirms.com/ ) sells 5.25" 
and 3.5" DD diskettes ($3 per box of ten.) 

Albert Franklin (email: jfrankl1@mindspring.com) sells 5.25" DS/DD diskettes. 

XDR2.com ( http://www.xdr2.com/ click on "Disks") sells 5.25" & 3.5" DD
diskettes 
in bulk (e.g. 3.5" at 50 for $13). 

Meritline.com ( http://store.yahoo.com/meritline/floppydisk.html ) sells 3.5"
DD diskettes 
in bulk (e.g. 100 for $14). 

Peripheral Manufacturing, Inc (800-468-6888; email: periphman@periphman.com )
sells 
5.25" DD diskettes in 10 packs ($2.95) and 50 packs (with sleeves, $15.00).. 

Commodore 64 & 128 Products ( http://www.oldsoftware.com/Commodore.html  search 
the page for disks for sale)  sells 5.25" & 3.5" DD diskettes. 

Check the non-Apple sections on eBay. Sometimes you'll see boxes of a thousand
disks 
going for the cost of shipping -- if they're listed outside of Vintage Apple
they seem to go 
a lot cheaper. 

Thrift shops: you may find packs of used 5.25" DD diskettes at bargain prices.
