I've sold a couple boxes on epay, but action on them was lower than I'd imagined. Some folks who resell alot of 8" floppies told me "good luck" because hard sectored just don't sell.

Any that I might own or want to own some day that it'd be worth me holding on to these if I can't sell them for a price worth it to drive to the post office and ship them?
The only things I have seen that use these are the Wang word processors
and OIS systems, maybe some old IBM system? Or were those soft-sectored?
If you don't find a use for them, I could use them for my OIS.
