Used?! I've got stacks of those with music on 'em and they only cost me £4 back in the day. Very good tapes, but not £16 good

I'm assuming no-one makes cassettes any more then?
I've got dozens of Thats chrome tapes, i always prefered the TDK metal tapes with the alloy chassis. I guess by his prices they must be worth £20+ now

You can still get new TDK SA but they're not the same or as good as the old formulations from the 80s and 90s. Other folks are producing tape as well; Phoenix Tape Company has produced limited runs of NOS Maxell metal and chrome tape stock. This was well reviewed by HiFi World a while back.

The 'sad' thing is that the person selling them believes they are worth it. Makes one wonder. Oh dear!Yes, especially since it's been used... He's havin' a larf!

Personally I always thought That's tapes were crap when new, let alone when old and used!
