Reel deep thoughts...
I own two pancakes of RMGI SM900 for my BR-20T and I've always known I was going to need to get some more, but I got a good deal on some tape...won't need to get any more 1/4" tape for awhile...

Check it out:

Yup...you see a case...and what's inside?

But we all know that just because the box has certain label on it doesn't mean that's what's inside...I took a risk on this purchase but I snapped it up in hopes that it really was what the seller said it was...so I opened it up and...yup...10 sealed pancakes of 1/4" x 2500' Quantegy GP9:

NOW...the big question is, how much $$$?? :confused:
 
Are you not knowing how you paid or are you asking us to guess?

If I had to guess, I'd say $100...based on you saying it was a "good deal"!

Cheers! :)
 
Ooo, good tape Cory. Not sure how much these went for at retail, my best guess about $300 for 10 pancakes. It was the best modern tape that was ever available, some would argue. But, as Jeff points out, based on you saying "good deal", I'd say you paid .... uh .... maybe half that? :confused: Any less I'd consider a steal! .......................;)
 
Indeed, gents, I love a good mystery and therefore am soliciting guesses. I'm also terrible at keeping a secret and therefore its time to spill my guts.

How about a tenth of cjacek's supposition/recollection of retail cost when new?

Yup...$30...SHIPPED!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!!

you got a fully functioning studer 2 trk included in the same deal...

A life time supply of Rice-a-Ronni, the San Francisco treat? :laughings:

Cheers! :)
 
Westgate and Ghost apparently exist in different spectra...:D

I suppose it all depends on what you're hungry for.

It is neither a Studer OR Rice-a-Roni, But it IS a very nice Technics 10.5" NAB 1/4" black anodized metal takeup reel!

what the heck, that's almost as good as a studer. :p:
 
I have one of those too but mine appears to be in better shape! :p

Waaaaait a minute...Jeff, are you SURE you didn't just borrow mine and clean it up???
 
Oh my goodness!!

I am so silly...I forgot...there's MORE!!
 
"I am so silly...I forgot...there's MORE!!"
----------------------------------------------

oh, goodie! :D

this is so much fun.

i think. :confused:
 
He also bought a 2" full-track headstack!!! FOR THE ULTIMATE IN ANALOG SOUND!
 
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!!

IF you order within the NEXT thirty minutes, we will include not ONE, but TWO cases of your FAVORITE tape! That's RIGHT, TWO cases of Quantergy tape- just pay shipping and handling* for the second case.

AAANNNNNDDDD, if you are not COMPLETELY satisified, we will refund your money (subject to a handling fee of our determination)


*(Of $69.95)
