Title: WTB: Cheap Cassettes
Post by: Carlman on 4 Jan 2022, 11:20 pm

Anyone got any cheap cassette collections they want to sell?
Classic rock and alternative from the 60's through 90's would be ideal.

I'm looking for someone who just wants to unload some box(es) of tapes.  I'll pay shipping. I'm just trying to have a little fun/nostalgia on the cheap.
I thought I had a huge box/case of cassettes but can't find them... and I bought a tape player but can't find them... and I've looked EVERYwhere... so here we are.

Thanks,
Carl

JVC TD-W305  - Nothing too special.

mix4fix, thank you a bunch!  Not sure if I'd remember that far from now but I do appreciate it. :)

********************UPDATE - ALL TAPES HAVE BEEN SOLD*****************************

I've got a bunch (probably close to 80) of pre-recorded Maxells and TDK's, recorded on once, all in really nice shape, and always stored in dry conditions. I think most are 90 minute tapes. How many are you looking for and how much are you looking to spend? I'll go pretty cheap on them. If anyone is interested, please Message me.

Thanks,
Dave

I've decided to ditch my cassette dream.
Just no time left to invest..

I have a box of prerecorded Sine Qua Non classical tapes somewhere around here.  Haven't had a tape player since 1992.  Some were played once; some were never played.  They are some of the best classical cassettes ever produced.  I also have a box of TDK MAR tapes 4 were recorded on 6 were never touched.  If you have never seen a MAR tape it was a TDK reference cassette meant for libraries and institutions.  Very heavy aluminum frame, clear Lucite sides.  I used them when I installed a car stereo.  I did not sell components, just installed them.
