Unopened cassette tapes free to good home
« on: February 23, 2010, 01:54:45 PM »
We have a few unopened cassette tapes free to a good home -

16 x TDK-D90 audio cassettes (still in cellophane);
10 Sony FX-D90 audio cassettes (still in cellophane);
2 x TDK-D60 audio cassettes (still in cellophane);
5 x Panasonic EHD-ECVC small video cassettes (still in cellophane);

All unused, unopened and pining for a good home.  DVDs and CDs killed them off I think . . .  So if they can be of any use to anyone, I'm in Monkstown Community School - you'll even get a coffee if you call to collect them . . . Now I can't say fairer than that - Dominic.

I'm tempted, just down the road, but it's very cold out.

If you nip over to the subway down at the Spar and get me a Steak&Cheese on Italian herb bread I'd think about it.

I remember about 10 years ago, we got rid of reel to reel tapes. They went to a good home, a mate of mine who is a hifi nut and has a reel to reel nearly fainted when he saw the amount of tape I brought him.
