Not sure if it's okay to ask for donations.

I am trying to collect some bad 8" and 5-1/4" floppy disks for an art project. Around 10 disks each.
Yes I want bad ones -- bad sectors, molded, etc, those you would throw away.
Black disks and good-looking ones are preferred. ("good-looking": not deformed or bent, disks that still look usable if they were not molded or having bad sectors)

I would rather not buy from ebay since I am not trying to read/write the disks.
Will pay for reasonable shipping cost (to Texas).

Thanks in advance.
 
Welcome to the forum @h2ospa .

It’s perfectly fine to ask for a donation like that. My opinion is that it is great to look for bad disks to use for an art project, thus making sure that we don’t waste good usable floppies when it’s just as good for the art if the disks are non-working.
