Hmm.  I'd be interested if I didn't already have 300 or so tiles, and 
noewhere to put them. : )  When they replaced the window-wall with 
offices at work, they put in new raised flooring, and sent the old 
stuff out to storage, which eventually got cleaned out.  The people at 
Purdue's surplus place decided it was worthless (they're a slightly odd 
size, like 24-3/16" square or something) so I kept them from throwing 
them out.  Not all the tiles are full (some have cutouts, or are 
partial tiles) and they've got a wood core, so scrappers aren't really 
interested in them either.  I'm saving them for when I end up with a 
house (or build a place) that can use them.  I'll have to get floor 
stands, but that should be cheaper than having to buy the whole 
thing... or I probably could try to build a framework for them.
