Anyone have a source other than eBay to buy 2.88MB Floppy Disks for the NeXT?

Or, do I really need them?  Will 1.44 Mac or PC formatted disks do the job?

What did installers from NeXT software companies use when selling you software?  1.44MB or 2.88MB?

I want to make exact copies of my software installation disks and wondered if I need 1.44 or did developers back then actually sell the software on 2.88 floppies?

I've never ordered from them because they only list a PO Box on their site, so buyers beware.

Looks like an awesome price.  50 pack for only $20.  So, unless they charge a mint for postage, or the disks are utter crap, that is a good deal.  I just purchased 2 boxes of 10 each Toshiba 2.88 floppies, new in box, for $30 delivered.

Know I have a link though so that is nice.
