Estate Sales seem to be where I'm finding 8-tracks that are in fairly decent condition. It's been kind of fun rooting around and finding the odd gem or two...
I recently found a Pioneer H-22 8-track player in pristine condition which I snatched up for the sole purpose of being able to test-play the 8-tracks I find. Along with it, I snagged 4 Elvis 8-tracks (among others) and was able to find a home for them surprisingly quickly. People still love The King apparently. Not exactly my cup of tea, but hey... to each their own. On the other hand, I recently came across the Moody Blues... "Knights in White Satin" sounds so much better on 8-track... it's that warm feel.
Most of the 8-tracks that I've come across have been country music. I am not a country music fan at all, so I now have a fairly decent collection of 8-track tapes in fair to good condition full of music that other than the minute or two spent to insure that the tape is in workable condition, I have no personal interest. Well, if you like 8-tracks, here's your chance to virtually peruse my stash.
All tapes have been tested for playability. Label stickers range from decent/good to poor condition. Shipping will be by USPS Media Mail. If you want insurance, we'll have to work something out. Email me at stringthe0ry at yahoo
My rating system:
GOOD - Label is in decent condition, some wear & tear a/o aging, but not bad all things considered.
FAIR - Label shows obvious wear a/o aging, maybe starting to fray/bubble a bit.
POOR - Label has some serious wear & tear going on... might want to bust out the scotch tape...
