  to you?  I posted this for sale at a price that I see these
  offered for in the newspapers in my area.
  I see you have a post for a few old Mac floppys and parts that
  to me would be scrap, but I didn't flame you for it. If you don't
  like someone's price, don't buy it... and keep your attacks to
  youself. I would think you could find something better to do with
  your time.
