    Package arrived in good condition and all was exactly as advertised. I really appreciate the seller making this group of tapes available all together with the convenient storage case for a very fair price. These were all easy-to-service cartridges and with a little TLC they’re all ready to enjoy in my personal collection. Looking forward to working with this seller again. Highly recommended.

    We haven't made an eBay purchase in years, but this seller restored our faith & consideration for future transactions. We were able to chat before the purchase & they answered our question. The coffee pot arrived safely, clean & intact. Due to the summer heat transport though, much glue from the tape remains on the sides & the glass. Oh well. Also, we were pleased with the speed. Ordered on a Sat. Shipped on Mon and arrived to us in 5 days...completely across the country. Thanks for everything!
