A bit late to check if it works now (if you scrapped the laptop). Put the external floppy on ebay if you havn't ripped it apart.

well thats fustrating.. i dont like to lose money, especially when it has minimal investment required. i havn't been a ebay fan in a couple years. i got tired of dealing with paypal and ebay fees and fees for selling in the morning. and fees for selling in the afternoon, and fees for keeping track of all the fees and by the time you sell a $10 item you have 8dollars in fees and 6 bucks for shipping.

You should probably do some reading on eBay fees.

I get 50 free listings a month (no insertion fee)

If you sell a $10 item + $6 shipping

About a $1.45 FVF fee from ebay and a like an $.80 cent fee for paypal.

$2.25 in fees total...

-$6 if thats how much it actually costs you to ship (I charge higher)

And that $10 item is actually a $7.75 item which is pretty good considering you exposed your product to million and don't have to wait for a money order or check.

I know you were being facetious, but still.
