We have added a new page to the website - Cassettes For Sale. Don't get us wrong, we still love our 8-tracks, but folks have asked about us selling them and so we've added them. Check 'em out and let us know if you see anything you'd like to buy!

We have sold all of the lots that we had up recently, but we are making more up. We're going to be selling off a lot of tapes to par down that 10-15,000 (or more) tapes that we have. We won't be giving them away, but we'll make a heck of a deal on them. We also have tons of cassettes that need to go as well.



Helpful: When you send an email with the tapes you want, if you'll let us know which list the tapes are from. Thanks!


Here is the boring business stuff we have to tell you about!!!!


Even though all tracks are sold AS IS, we have play-tested each one, and they all work. Since most of these tapes are at least 20 years old, please plan on replacing the foam pads and  reinforcing the splice. See 8-Track Repair and tune-Up Services Offered.

After you make your selection, email us and we will hold the tapes for you up to a week. Please look under Shipping and Stuff for detailed instructions about payment and shipping. Also, if you would like to be on a mailing list to be notified when the list is updated please send us and email with "Subscribe" in the Subject line.

We hate to due this, but since we've had some folks ordering tapes and then not sending payment, we're asking that payment be sent within 10 working days of your order confirmation from us giving you a total with s/h. Each order must be paid for separately. If there is a problem getting payment to us, please email us and let us know. We're more than glad to work with you.  We also understand that payment from overseas takes a little longer.  Orders that have been here more than 2 weeks without payment or an email explaining delay in payment, are subject to being put back on the shelves for resale.

We now have a business account so we can accept checks or money orders made out to Kate's Track Shack or Kathy Gibson. We also accept PayPal. We have two accounts setup with them. One for credit card payments and one for non-credit card payments. Just let us know which you'll be using.
 

If you are paying with PayPal, please make sure that the address you have on file with them is the correct address. If you've moved and haven't changed it or haven't given us your correct address, your package could be delayed. If it is sent back to us because of an incorrect address, there will be a charge for the return shipping from the post office as well as the original shipping costs.


We're going to add a few description codes (borrowed from Malcom - Thanks, Malcolm!!) for the tapes we'll be adding on to help better describe the tapes condition. We haven't gone in and changed all of the tapes, just the ones we added beginning with this updated list. Keep in mind, too, that just because a tape doesn't have any type of coding beside the title, that it's in perfect condition. Some tapes may have minor imperfections, just not enough to warrant putting a code beside it. We'll try to be as honest about the tapes as we can.  We sometimes get requests asking if we can give a track listing on a particular tape(s) but due to the time involved we are not able to do this. We hope you can understand this.
