Don't forget Gold Bell stamps. Or was that a MidWest-only phenomenon?

Don't know about MidWest-only... never heard of them here on the Left Coast. I did find these, which goes to prove that you can find ANYTHING on eBay:

I remember going to an S&H redemption center with my parents in Sunnyvale, CA back in the 60's.
Getting back in track...
Ron, do you have a port replicator? If so, I think that there's an external floppy connector on it which may work with a 600-series floppy drive. Or do you want to carry around a floppy drive and be able to simply plug it in anytime you need it? I'm assuming that an Ultrabay floppy would not work for you either...

Oh Ronald...
I searched the "room from hell" and found I have this one still sealed in that impossible to remove plastic:

OK?
If so just tell me what it's worth and I'll ship it Thursday. No I still didn't ship the travel bezel as I was looking for a box small enough to send it in (I was afraid it would crack in a padded envelope). Now I can ship both in a hard drive box I received today. Oh, speaking of hard drives... need any of those (or anything else) before I finally ship things off? Remember, I probably have it if you are patient enough to wait for me to remember to send it! Actually, I'll probably post another small list of sellable crap later tonight.

WOW...simple question. Yes I have one if you are interested.
That is if you still want a USB floppy drive?
Please send a PM if you want pricing with shipping.

I searched USB floppy on eBay (Australia) and got about 40 to 50 from your typical Hong Kong sellers (looks cheap but shipping makes up for the low price a bit). I have an IBM USB floppy that I haven't used before, but I fear the inevitable of possibly letting it go and finding I need it the day/week after
