Who Needs A NOS Floppy Drive?

[VectorGamer]

I had a huge 8-bit Craigslist haul years ago and now the stuff has to go. One of the items in this lot is an Atari floppy drive still in the box. I don't know how often these show up, so I wanted to post here to make sure it doesn't fly under the radar.

And FWIW here's a link to the rest of my auctions for the week:

OK I went ahead and read the details on global shipping and revised the listing to include international shipping.

Hello guys

 

WOW! Out of pure curiosity (I don't need another disk drive) I looked at the ad. And the price of shipping. For that kind of money it's almost cheaper to fly to the US and pick it up personally.

PS I not blaming you, VectorGamer.

I have to ask: why is the 1050 described as "New Old Stock" when it clearly shows it's been used?

The 1050 is in the box sealed not the loose one

So you are selling two drives. So, I sure can understand the shipping (US). International shipping is extreme for packages of heavier weight.

 

Presume you are going to double-box it with good padding to protect the 1050 box?

I will have everything packed well.
