40-50 year old NOS Tape - Scotch & Maxell - what is a fair price?

[tapefan]

Hello all, I have some old NOS Scotch and Maxell 1/4 tape that I'm wondering what a fair price is. I have:

3 Scotch 1200 ft (111)
2 Scotch 1800 ft (190)
2 Maxell Low Noise 35-90 1200 ft
2 Scotch Magnetic Tape 211 in cases 1200 ft

Thanks for any help you all can give me.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you can get top dollar for these. Post pictures of each for better time period ID.

Here are pics of the tapes, they're all still sealed and I'm guessing are from the late 60s, but I'd love to hear if anyone can nail down a year range for them and prices on each.

Looks like all mid 70's stock. Hmm.. someone more knowledgeable should weigh in on this. Have you looked at ebay "completed auctions"?

[tapefan]

I've looked at ebay, but was only able to find the Scotch 111 and 190 tapes in current and completed auctions, and it looks like they are asking for:

$10/tape for 111's that are used and 1200 ft,
$4-7 for a pair of Scotch 190 tapes that have been used.

Completed auctions:
Asked for $14 for 3 190 tapes

Between $4-40 for NOS Maxell 35-90

Couldn't find anything on the gray Scotch.

scotch 111 and 190 are both from the late 60s. maxell is probubly mid 70s. i guess.

Also have 2 Akai 10.5" metal takeup reels in original plastic bags and boxes that have "ATR-10" on them. Anyone have any idea how much those would be worth? Can't seem to find anything on ebay completed auctions.

If you use the eBay feature for completed auctions, you will not see what you can if you use Google. I Googled the ATR-10 and found at least two eBay sales: August for $29 and October for $49. I think the eBay search limits how far back they will search.

Friendly Note: This sub-form is for discussing blank tape. If you want to ask for appraisals, you should use the "appraisals" subforum in the "Marketplace" section of Tapeheads...

Oh, thanks! I will do that from now on.
