eBay

Information to the bidders from USA:

Because of so many policy changes, I can send tapes to USA just as "GIFT" whose amount is "under $100", and no document with prices/amount will be attached to the packet/parcel. Even if the actual amount is over $100, I will declare under $100. Please be noticed about this way of declaration on shipping to USA.

I do not accept zero-feedback bidders. Their bids will be deleted, and they will be put in the block list. No exemption!

Notice for those who plan to reuse the used cassette tape for recording:

I do not guarantee a good result of your reuse of the used cassette tapes. More or less, the old magnetic tapes are aged and damaged. I cannot check all through the tapes from one end to the other. I cannot check the strength of the torque power of your decks, either. In other words, my listings are for collection and NOT for reuse. Once you run the tape, or even rewind with your finger, I do not accept refund or return. Threatening me with bad feedback will go in vain. Never bid if you are to reuse the tapes not at your own risk.

Very good condition. The tape was run lightly. The A-side of the cartridge has some rubbed marks marked by the cartridge holder of the car stereo. The card has writings and a few dregs left from the removed sticker. It had its filing part cut away. All the writing labels were consumed and gone.

EICO IPD is well-known for their metal-portioned high position cassette tapes, and they once released such model in the reel-to-reel style. This is one of the rarest minor model supplied exclusively to "Asahi Broadcasting (radio station)", and the reels have "1008kHz Asahi Broadcastin", "ABC YOUNG REQUEST", "ヤングリクエスト" the logo of their music program as seen on the reels.

Combined Shipping Instruction

2. Items which you have just won + which you may win in coming future weeks:

Option-A: Tell me your idea. Then I can combine invoices of 4 weeks' purchases at maximum. (eBay invoices cannot be updated if they include sales older than 1 month.)
