Looking for scrap neodymium magnets

[jimineez]

I have quite a few smaller magnets I've salvaged from home computers, but looking for something larger.
Years ago I bought a few bigger magnets that were from hard drives, but they are a full 1/4" thick, about 2" long, and 5/8" wide.
Any idea where I can get something similar without paying ebay prices?

There are many different sizes on Amazon. Not sure how the prices compare to eBay.

I don't remember now but there are several websites that sell these. I bought some when I was messing around with war nickels and eddy currents and if I remember correctly the prices were pretty reasonable.

What do you need the magnets for? The magnets you describe are probably from 30+ year old hard drives. In addition to being harder to come by today, they are also labor intensive to take apart, which is why sellers are charging a premium.

I'm asking because you may be able to find a cheaper substitute.

Ebay prices? I see quite a few lots of 10-50 magnets that have sold for just a few cents each and that includes shipping from China. Not sure how much cheaper you can get. Filter your query search to bring up sold items and you will see a bunch of lots that have sold just recently.
