For 8" floppies, check out http://www.athana.com/html/disc.html

They sell a box of 10 8" floppies for $20 +/- $1. And bulk 8" floppies
(minimum quantity 500) are $1.75

Has anyone ordered 8" floppies from california Digital? They have double
density 8", but they dont specifically state its double sided.. Still, the
price is listed at $12.95

Whats the best source for 5.25" bulk floppy disks these days?
