Protect ya neck.

Since I'm broke, I was going to go through my parent's LP and tape collection today. My local thrift stores have no shortage of LPs, either, so I've always meant to take a gander at completeds. From clicking through pages of them, I take from it that unless it's a sealed Beatles or Zeppelin, or unless it's "first press" of some obscure 80's punk band with a crazy cover, you better check it out on an eBay app before you buy it.

But cassettes are what blew my mind. Look at this. And this. And this. Don't forget to click here.

I mean, let's be honest here, if you were glancing through tapes at a yard sale or thrift store (and do we very often? No.), would you pick up one from some obscure rapper from the early '90's? Or an old Wu Tang tape? Heck no. But now you know!

I'm pretty sure my parents don't have any unknown rapper demo tapes. And all of my old ones are likely to be Ace of Base singles, not Eminem. Dang!

  1. Seriously Maggie, thanks for the heads up. I'm cleaning out all that kind of junk and would have never thought to list any of it. Good job.

    I've been selling quite a few little vinyl character toy figures lately.

  3. I used to sell on Amazon, and probably about 5 years ago I sold the cassette for the Saved by the Bell soundtrack for like 30 or 40 dollars. I was shocked!
