    Magnetic Media Buyers?

    By magnetic media I mean:

    Floppies
    VHS/BETA
    Cassette Tapes
    DAT Tapes



    Anything that uses iron/silver/others(?) oxide tape or film.

    When I was in Junior High (long, long ago) I read about companies using it to make sandpaper.

    This was well on 20 years ago.

    My Google-Fu hasn't brought in many promising results.

    I know VHS tapes are PP (polypropylene) but, cassette tapes seem like acrylic and so on.

    What I'd like to know is if there is a market for mixed magnetic media?

    Please don't say "throw it in with the shredder" or "trash it it's worthless".

    Neither is productive to the discussion and is too often said on this forum.

    If you don't know, don't say anything counterproductive to up your post count.

    Thanks.

    I hope we can find a buyer! I have a huge collection of VHS, don't matter what the rating is I hope!

    Those Beta max tapes should bring in some cash, they are what about 5 pounds each?

    Shouldn't be too hard to find a buyer to flip those floppies and unrated vhs and old heavy beta max tapes! But those viagra driven hard drives might cause us some problems.

    How is this a joke?

    I really don't understand.

    I ask a question and all I get is "Floppie! Hyuck, yuck, yuck!"?

    Again, if you don't know, don't say something stupid that bears no relevance to the question.

    Your sad attempts at trolling aren't going to phase me.

    It shows to new members what they are truly dealing with here.

    Excellent info gents.

    Sorry I haven't been here long.

    I'm not part of the "gang".

    But, maybe be helpful and not gigantic asses when someone asks a question.

    The sole purpose of having a website is traffic.

    Keep trying to run people off and there will be no site.

    Non-members who see the ****ishness that transpires are not really encouraged to join.

    Do I need to start a thread to address these issues or are you gong to flood this one with nonsense?

    Or just shrug off those who use CL?

    I've learned quite a bit from this site but, the nose in the air, know-it-allness really bothers me.

    Say something useful or keep your smug statements to yourselves.

    Jeesh.

    Not speaking to anyone in particular BTW.

    I call you as I see you.

    No apologies from me.

    Wanna stop with the ridiculous flaming and provide some insight?

    Yep with that and this "Please don't say "throw it in with the shredder" or "trash it it's worthless".

    Neither is productive to the discussion and is too often said on this forum.

    If you don't know, don't say anything counterproductive to up your post count."

    Not your call to say who can and can't speak. But not to worry. I'm not asking for an apology. You can call me anything you like.

    You started off with an interesting thread. Then you blew it with the condescending attitude. But hey, do it your way pal!!! You're gonna get lot's of help here....

    We are just joking around! You are the one calling people names!

    I also feel you should remove your avatar, it promotes smoking and we have children on this forum.
