    Fantastic seller. They obviously took great care in packing the items I bought and they were also open to any questions I asked before I purchased. The best packing I've had in my experience buying tapes off eBay. Everything arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described and pictured. Absolutely recommend buying from them. Thank you!
