This is a decision I made on my own – I’m pulling all the cassettes from the eBay store and wanted to explain:
(Just my opinion on selling cassettes there, the store’s doing fine, no disasters & I’m getting good feedback etc.)
eBay – Item Condition by Category
Movies & TV, Music, Video Games:
Very Good – There is no damage to the jewel case or item cover: no scuffs, scratches cracks, or holes.
I get it, it should be like new but the next level down is “Good” where you’re practically giving stuff away. Fair price is all I’m looking for and I don’t think I can get that on eBay for cassettes.
So I ended up pulling all of the cassettes from the store a second time. First time was because of scuffs on jewel cases. Decided just to provide new jewel cases.
Now it’s scratches that I missed the first 2 times around. See the 3rd and 4th picture around the reels. Click on the picture to enlarge.
Like I said, I get it. Not going to deal with it. I’m just moving on to something else. I do have a significant amount of cassettes that I can put up in bulk lots but the “good stuff” is going to the back of the line.
