James Taylor- Dad Loves His Work 8-track tape- Factory Sealed!
As pictured. All 8-track tapes-- even if factory sealed-- are sold strictly as collector’s items with NO guarantee concerning their operating condition-- although it is unlikely a purchaser would want to break the seal on one. Although problems are rare, most 8-track collectors are very aware that sealed tapes were notoriously unreliable even when new, are susceptible to age-related deterioration to wheels, splices and pads-- and they have NOT improved with age!
- SHIPPING NOTES-
U.S. CUSTOMERS: A package of FIVE tapes weighs under a pound, so an order of up to five can ship via USPS Media Mail for the same price as ONE! Thus, purchasing multiples saves you significantly over ordering one at a time. Put everything in your cart, then order. Nonetheless, due to the way eBay calculates combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at checkout. But with multi-tape orders, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you were charged for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. If a domestic the order is for over $40 (not including sales tax), I’ll refund ALL the shipping. Fair enough?
NON-U.S. CUSTOMERS: With most International orders, “one pound and under” packages can be sent quite reasonably. Five 8-track tapes weigh just under a pound, so five can be sent for the same price as ONE. However, given the way eBay calculates the weight of combined orders, you will likely be overcharged for shipping at check-out. But with each multi-tape order, I subtract the actual cost of the label from the total you paid for shipping—then promptly refund the difference. Often I’ll get an inquiry as to the cost of shipping 30 or 40 tapes, but this never works out—since International rates rise exponentially with the weight and size of the package.
