Where To Buy Used Cassettes

Technology has moved to the point where cassettes are no longer created by the music industry as a way to push new music. Patience, a little diligence and a sense of adventure are all that is needed to find some used cassettes either on the Internet or in the city streets.

Finding used cassettes on the Internet
This is probably the most straight-forward and accessible way of finding used cassettes. There are a number of websites that buy and re-sell cassettes, such as Amazon, ebay and Buy.com. Shipping and delivery related charges are usually standard price and relatively inexpensive, as are the cassettes themselves. By using a website like ebay you can build up a buying/selling relationship with another person and also get more information on other places to discover used cassettes. 

Finding used cassettes in cities
This is more variable than the Internet. It can be more random as you have no idea what you may find until you turn up. The best places to look are markets, independent record stores and at any type of street or garage sale. It is also advisable to ask at concerts or music venues as they often have information on smaller outlets that carry older stock and back catalogues. Public libraries also often contain cassettes for both books on cassette and for music. Some universities, schools and churches also have cassettes available and it could be possible to copy them onto a blank cassette. By using the Internet, cassettes can be sourced from all over the world. Huge companies like Wal.Mart sell cassettes but if you live outside of the States, these types of stores tend to be more difficult to find. This all depends on the city you live in and also the sense of adventure you are seeking. Cassettes are a forgotten music form now, but for real lovers of music with that distinctive sound, there are still many ways to find them.
