Haven't looked recently but, they show up on ebay quite often. Prices are
typically in the $2.00 - $5.00 range per tape.
About two years ago, I bought 30 boxes of new 2400' tapes. As I recall, I
paid $3.00 per tape (with shipping). I'd be willing to part with some but,
since I'm recently unemployed, I gotta make some money on the deal.
