dude no one is gonna buy that for $100.00 much less the 150 you want. you're dreamin
come one, it might be worth 30 to someone, but its not like Zips are in much use anymore, with CD burners (700 MB for 50 cents vs. 100MB for $10)

the zip discs could be used as retro coasters
- studio11080

i like the coasters bit.
yeah, i think $100 is a bit too much.

You should have put in there:
"I am selling these items because it's silly to use outdated storage devices considering the low cost of CD Burners and DVD Burners, which are availble for next to nothing on http://www.tigerdirect.com
:D!

if you are really wanting to selll them ask some design, or technical professors if they would want to purchase, alot of times that I saw was they would pass out large high res images on the disks to their students so they can use them for projects, and just have them returned by the end of the year, you never know what you may trip over.

Save it for building a robot. The easy technology behind the ZIP drive and disk will allow for much easier configurations when it comes to installation of dataports, fiber optic feeding tubes, and LCD eyeballs.
