Recently, I was able to acquire a huge amount of 3.5 and 5.25 DD/HD floppy disks (app. 2000 pieces), neatly packed and stored. I figured that these disks would be enough for me, as I was planning to reformat them all and use them for my Atari and Commodore 8/16bit collection, because I still like the look and feel of old floppy disks.

However, upon opening several boxes, I noticed that around 1000 floppy disks are original software from a variety of vendors and I realized that there could be a collector like me, who could be interested in this software, so I've decided to sell the original software. The other 1000 are copies of the same software and I'll be keeping those.

As I'm a collector myself, I'm asking only € 0,50 per floppy + PP (PayPal or IBAN). This means if you want to buy a 1-disk set, you only pay € 0,50 + PP and if you want to buy a 10-disk set, you only pay € 5,- + PP.
I live in the Netherlands, where local pickup is possible, but I can send worldwide.

Did you check the floppy disks if they are still working?
Not yet, but if you declare interest in a set of disks, I can check them for you and I will provide proof by supplying a photo of the directory listing of each disk.
At the moment I have only a 3.5 inch drive operational, but I have also 5.25 drive somewhere, that I need to get operational again. I've already checked some disks at random and they all work fine.

Update: Yesterday I managed to find and hookup my 5.25 drive, but sadly it has died, so I'm unable to test the 5.25 disks at this time.

Is the original box and manual included?
No, it's not and I don't know why the former owner decided to discard them.

For the titles, versions, OS, languages, number of disks per set and available sets, please refer to the attachment below. Thanks for looking and if you have any other question, please let me know.
