Ha. Remember those old AOL floppy disks? Of course you do, if you lived in America anytime in the 1990s you probably got at least 200 of them in the mail – and another 300 in any technology-related magazine you bought. I had so many that I’m pretty sure I could have build a replica of the Great Wall of China out them – a life-sized replica.

Now some idiot on eBay is attempting to sell an AOL version 1.0 for Mac Floppy Disk with a starting bid set at $995! Of course you can also buy it now for $4,995. Not surprisingly there are 0 bids on this. Hurry only 18 hours left!

In his description the guy claims:

This is the Holy Grail of AOL…a 1989 AOL 1.0 disk.

Last year one of these 1.0 disks sold for $9,214…it was a PC disk…but this disk is 4 YEARS OLDER!

If true that is unbelievable. AOL quite literally couldn’t give these things away a decade ago – now they are selling for thousands of dollars on eBay? It’s just another example of how people will buy anything online.

I know for a fact that I have at least a few AOL 2.0, 2.5, and maybe even some 3.0 disks still laying around somewhere. If this deal is up your ally I’ll gladly sell them to you for say…$1,000. Sounds fair right?
