Title: For Well Heeled Beatle Fan

Just noticed this auction.
It's pretty freakin' expensive but for someone with the dough,.. getting all these in one flip of the wallet might be worth it.

That's pushing $200 per tape at his Buy it Now price!
Over $150 per @ the starting price.

Damn! Who would spend that kind of money on tapes!


Hmm....     this may be the wrong forum for this kind of rant. LOL

I think we're talking about "Beatle Fans" as opposed to tape enthusiasts.
In which case, we're talking peanuts here. I've seen rock/pop tapes (7.5 ips 1/4 track) sell for twice as much as he's asking for the lot (and I mean twice as much for one tape!).

Great, I am not a Beatles fan.    I am an ABBA and Jane Morgan fan.

Well I am a Beatles Fan and audionut. And 7 12 ips is important to me. So guess what commands the highest prices for most tapes - the 7 12 ips versions, especially in the Rock catagory since so many can be found duped at 3 3/4s . Now it's not uncommon to see Beatles tapes at the higher speed with Buy-It-Now at $150.00 or higher. Well I have been watching a boatload of tapes and have snagged Let It Be for $56.00 shipped. Three times my usual threshold but a deal in the world of 7 1/2 ips Beatles tapes.
