I have accumulated a big amount of cassette tapes and wish to sell some of them.
They are all in sealed condition, as new and 100% unbroken.
The first is a fivepack Maxell UR, current production. This is a good allround tape with the qualities of the TDK D. It will sound very decent in any B&O deck.
The next is some 2005 Fuji DR II. I have 10 individual tapes that I want to sell. A very nice type II tape with a pretty good bass extension.
Next up are 5 1996 Fuji DR II. Pretty much the same formulation as the later model, but in a different shell and package design.
A 5-pack Maxell UDII-CD, the last generation of type II Maxell tape. Very good and durable tape.
I have about twenty bulk tapes; they're not just any tape, they are loaded with BASF Chrome Plus tape in a good transparent shell. I have just fitted them with a Maxell-style sticker on the A-side, but they are totally NOS and haven't been recorded on even once.
One TDK MA100, the EA version from the late 1990's. This metal tape has turned out to be a collectible, and still a very good metal tape.
One TDK MA90, EB version from early 2000's. The last metal tape produced by one of the big brands, same tape inside as the EA version.
A two-pack of TDK MA90, "T"-version from around 1993. Still the good TDK metal tape that came before the "EA" version.
And the pride of my tape collection: A 1988 TDK MA-X90. This tape is pretty scarce, and undoubtedly one of the very best cassette tapes ever made. The tape itself is the same as used in the 1988 TDK MA-XG, the legendary reference tape. The Beocord 9000 loves these tapes!
I will post world-wide.
Come with some offers!
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.

I don't know the actual prices, eBay prices are fluctuating too much to make a guess!
Hmm....
After checking the value of the Maxell UR, I think that it should be kept in the collection!
The Fuji DRII's and will be sold at £1 a piece. The Maxell UDII CD is at £5 for the whole pack.
The BASF bulk tapes... Will 3 for £3.
The TDK MA's (EA and EB) is at £7 a piece.
The TDK MA90 two pack is at £16
I don't know about the MA-X90!
What about a sealed MA-XG !?
Peter
Peter: What about a sealed MA-XG !?
You are teasing me, Peter!
I don't know if I ever am daring to use a tape that is so rare!
I just need a bit of cash at the moment, have spent way too much on B&O and cassettes lately!
Are these still available?
gburgess: Are these still available?
I guess so - but the prices are not the same as TDK has discontinued the production of SA tapes with the prices skyrocketing on eBay.
