8" and 5.25" floppy disks

IIRC, back in '78 or so, the 8" diskettes cost $10 each at retail. I don't
remember what box of 10 cost, though. I've found that "vintage" hardware
seems to top out at somewhere around the price it brought, new, back when it
was new, in places like eBay, so maybe that's an indicator of what folks will
ultimately pay.
