Default Would anybody still buy a tapedeck?

I'm trying to clear my place up a bit. I've still got some hi fi kit I bought about 15 years ago. I've got a twin Technics tape deck in perfect nick that at the time cost me quite alot of money. Is it worth me trying to sell it, or does no one use tapes anymore ?( I don't)

I'd be interested as I have loads of old 92-94 mix tapes which I can no longer listen to...

I've got a Kenwood in the loft as well. Don't use it at all, have a few things I'm tempted to rip to MP3, but a Record Deck is currently a higher priority (and even that isn't too high)

Fairly recently I sold a Sony 3 head deck with Dolby S for over a ton.
Nakamichi decks still hold their value well too.
If you have metal blank tapes though, these are like gold dust and if unused and sealed can command very high prices.

I had quite a good Kenwood job. Ebay was a no go and even nobody on Freecycle wanted it. It went in the bin.

I moved house recently and binned all my tapes when they came down from the loft.
Try Ebay it's not a lot even if it doesn't sell

I've got a Nakamichi Dragon still in the lounge, it doesn't get used too much, usually when my 4 year old daughter is curious to see what it does
