Each tape was carefully packaged, showing the seller’s attention to detail and commitment to quality. Playback is flawless, and the sound is crystal clear.

Highly recommend and would definitely buy from again!

    Fantastic experience with this seller. We had an issue with the post office misplacing the package, and seller communicated promptly all the way through and we were able to get it resolved. When it arrived it was exactly as described and very well packaged. This is what an eBay transaction should look like. Thank you for the poster!
