1265.0. "Disk prices ...????" by GLDOA::SPATOULAS (George Spatoulas Eng. Consultant) Mon Mar 21 1988 15:17

    
    
    I am looking to buy some disks (qty 100-150) does anybody know what
    the current cheap !! prices are for the DD 3.5 ???
    
    I know there was a whole suject on this but I could not find any
    phone number.  Of all those that participated on the buy how were
    the disks that you bought.
    
    Any body has any phone numbers and prices ?????
    
    Thanks in advance,

1265.1Good LuckCSC32::J_PARSONSSpecialist in competenceMon Mar 21 1988 15:407
    Please let me know if you find any reasonably priced disks. I went
    through the entire Computer Shopper last week and called everyone
    who had an ad for 3.5" DS disks and absolutely noone had any in
    stock. One place told me that he honestly didn't expect to receive
    any more bulk 3.5" disks until 1989. 
    
    Again, if you find any disks please post the information here.
1265.2you find 'em, I'll buy 'emMANTIS::LONGMon Mar 21 1988 19:137
Looks like this note is becoming a prelude to another bulk order. If you find
some for < $1.50 each, I'd be interested in 100.

1265.3Disks on the way....WHYVAX::KRUGERTue Mar 22 1988 13:527
    See the prior note. I have 800 on order. Send your checks, same
    as before -- I won't repeat ALL those instructions!
    
    Price is *STILL* $1.05 per disk, multiples of 50 only, plus shipping.

1265.4Oh boy, more data.PRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeff LomickaTue Mar 22 1988 14:036
Also like before,  I will ship U.P.S.  Send me mail with the quantity
for rates to your city.

And also like before I'm in for another 50 disks.


1265.5First come...WHYVAX::KRUGERTue Mar 22 1988 14:555
    Remember, I'm only getting 800, of which at least 200 are accounted
    for. I can extend my order, but that will take time. I will go by
    the order posted in this note in getting them out.

1265.12DEC PricingHPSTEK::TBOWENThu Mar 24 1988 12:114
    Let's see, a Vaxmate sells on the street for around $4500, transfer
    cost is $750, that's a 6X markup so 3 1/2 DSDD disks will go for
    about $6.30 apiece. Too high for me. (insert happy face here)

1265.15HPSTEK::TBOWENMon Mar 28 1988 11:503
    Refering to reply #8, if possible, I'd like to make that 150 instead
    of 100.
    
1265.16Where are the disks ???GLDOA::SPATOULASGeorge Spatoulas Eng. ConsultantTue May 10 1988 22:358
    I still have not goten the disk from WHYVAX::KRUGER.  I sent the
    check almost a month ago (I think). Does any body else have been
    waiting for long time ????
    
    I sent mail three time and no answer (this makes me nervous).  Where
    are the 100 I ordered and paid for ???

1265.17Dov, you still work here, don't you?PRNSYS::LOMICKAJJeff LomickaFri May 13 1988 16:372
Yes, this topic is unusually quiet lately.

1265.18!!!!!!LECHMERE HAS DISKS!!!!!!!TUNER::OPERATORTue Aug 02 1988 02:3717
    
    WELL, 
    	I DON'T KNOW WEATHER YOU GOT YOU DISKS OR NOT BUT IF YOU LIVE
    IN NEW ENGLAND YOU ARE CLOSE TO A LECHMERE.  I USED TO WORK IN THE
    ONE IN MANCHESTER FOR THE COMPUTER DEPT.(WHY I DON'T KNOW WE SOLD
    ATARI ST'S) BUT THEY HAVE IN STOCK RIGHT NOW ABOUT 3000 DISKS DS/DD
    AND SS/DD, FUJI,SONY,NASHUA,MEMOREX,KODAK,MAXELL.  THEY GO ON SALE
    ALMOST EVERYWEEK.  DS/DD RUN ABOUT $17 A BOX OF 10, SS/DD RUN ABOUT
    $12 A BOX OF 10.  I AM CHEAP, I USE SS/DD.  NO, I AM NOT TAKING
    ORDERS. JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO KNOW.  THOSE ARE FOR THE
    MANCHESTER STORE ONLY, THE OTHER STORE HAVE ABOUT THE SAME I THINK.

1265.19CSC32::J_PARSONSI'm growing older but not upTue Aug 02 1988 11:423
    The latest order of DS/DD disks came in at $1.22 or so each, a
    substantial savings over the $1.70 that disks can be had at Lechmere
    or (out here in Colorado) at Target.
