I can do better than just answering your question; I can tell
you how to answer it and all future questions like it.
Go to eBay, and search on floppy disks / floppy disk drives.
Click the box to show completed listings only. If every
auction has many bids and the final price is high, the
item is valuable. If many auctions end with no bids and the
ones that do have low final prices, it has no worth on the
market. It also means that you can dump the ones you have,
knowing that if you ever have a need for one it will be easy
and cheap to get.
