    Anyone seen any audio cassette tapes recently?

    So it turns out I’ve probably lost my favorite music tapes and I’ve been looking around for some new ones but it seems no where really sells them anymore. I didn’t think it was that long ago that I used to be able buy them at the servo and red dot / $2 dollars stores??

    Anyone seen any recently?

    um... time to go CD no? The servo's red dot etc stopped selling them a while ago. You might be luck to find something in a dodgey road house in the middle of no where though. Either that or fleabay and hope its decent.

    for use in car?
    or are you some kind of perverted tape purist?

    hehe, you could use a tape converter if it's the former, I haven't seen tapes for ages.

    Pre-recorded? Apart from op-shops I doubt if you'll see them anywhere.

    JB HiFi were still selling a decent selection of blanks about 6 months ago. Maybe still do but I haven't looked.

    Yep... there were.... until some unkind individual feels that HDD magnets should be stored with your mountains of tapes

    Well if you put it that way, both I guess.

    Yep, yep. Pre-recorded, the kind I could put in a tape deck and just press play.

    Cassette tapes - fail on purist. "purist" is only an excuse with cassettes.

    To be a tape purist, you must have reel-to-reel (I think I only dumped my reel collection in the last house move) or at least 8-track.

    The servo/mini roadhouse at Menzies. You probably don't want to stop there. $15 each, what a crock, we were thinking about it as had old rental landcruisers last time, almost chipped in for Robert Palmer tape.

    Ebay?

    Maybe have a look in some music stalls in markets?

    I still have a couple of cassettes, although the quality has gone a bit
