Get a big 8-track tape collection instantly by buying a multi-tape lot. Many people who sell off their 8-track tape collections just want to get rid of them and offer the entire lot for one bulk price. It’s often a low price and there can be some great tapes in the collection. Buying 8-track tape lots can be a great way of getting some excellent music for a superb price. And you will probably get some new music you haven’t heard yet.
Buying a multi-tape vintage 8-track tape lot is a good way of saving money, experiencing some new music and expanding your horizons. Buying two at a time, or hundreds or even thousands of tapes, is more efficient and fun. Plus, anything you end up with that you don’t need you can try to sell or trade.

Benefits of 8-track tape lots: A real-world story
We knew someone who bought about 1,200 8-track tapes for $250 (about 21 cents each). Most were used; a few were sealed. They picked out the ones they wanted – John Lennon quadraphonic tapes, Stevie Wonder’s Hotter Than July, etc. – and kept the rest for trading with others online.
They published a list of what they didn’t need, with a Want List of tapes and artists. The Want List had pretty rare and hard to find things – Strawberry Alarm Clock, Velvet Underground, early 1980s Neil Young, etc. The offer was for 5-1 trades: pick five tapes from the list for each tape you have from our Want List. It worked well – win-win, and everyone’s 8-track collections grew.
