For 100 tapes $25 would be fair that's only .25 cents per tape

You do make a very good point and next time I sell some, I'll offer that as a base price. However, in this particular situation, the gas wasn't much of an issue for me. All of the yard sales/free give aways were within 5 minutes of my house. The first dozen or so I got from a guy who was offering those along with 2 CRTs and 2 VCRs for free. The second dozen I got from a yard sale three blocks from my house for free along with a bunch of other goodies (electronics, kitchenware, and books) after buying a few things. The rest (the majority) came from a yard sale where I bought a small portable grill, two printers, a wooden night stand, and a VCR for 5 bucks. The guy tossed them in as an afterthought since I bought the VCR.

Don't ya just hate that!? About 20 years ago I was looking at an old 8 track tape player at a yard sale, which was hooked up to two very large real wood(not particle board) speakers, which I was actually more interested in, and asked if they went together, so he threw them in. Heavy raskals too! Each one has it's own base adjustment in back, they're German, but I can't recall the brand (although once a well known) name. 20 years, and two moves later, I still have those old speakers, sitting atop a 6' heavy duty work shelf, and they are yet to be plugged up to anything! lol

Wow, that's a hell of a find. I've been hoping that I would come across an old 8 track player at a yard sale, but haven't seen one yet. If I did find one, I doubt that I would even scrap it. It would just be cool to have.
