Re: Major eBay mistake, was (Re: FA: Reference books, Salvation Supreme)

I'd be willing to bet that Ebay has a bunch of 20something year old IT
wannabe's working for them that have probably never even held a 5.25" floppy
before. It wasn't that long ago that I sold a box of used double density
floppies that obviously had software on them, typed labels and all. I just
billed them as 'sold as blank disks with no guarantees'. Never had a problem
with that auction. Just goes to show.
