Hello,... and yes. It could be 1500 by now, or more.
My friends, I have been the worst example of what you're talking about in gear hoarding, compulsive spending, etc. In short, I was a gear slut for no other reason than it's great shit I got mostly for deals and I could afford it. However, those days are gone and I have my legacy to deal with and unravel a fair amount to accommodate my present lifestyle. In short, it's way too late to save me from myself, but thanks for the thought.
In media,... tho' my recorded output has dwindled down to next to nothing, I feel a consummable media is still a good investment, it gives me options, and it future proofs my investment in this hobby. I'll never be a rock star, but it's fun nonetheless.
Type II cassettes are a little hard to find these days, and I say get it now while the getting is good. If I could afford a case or pallet, I'd get it. Funny thing is the tape based recording still works great for me, and I'm sticking with it. When you have as many recorders as I do, there's sound reasoning (hah: pun) to try & not hit a wall on the issue of media. I've always been into media of all sorts, and there's no stopping now. The real joy is in the creating, producing and listening back of the music itself. Sometimes I'm astounded that some of the stuff I did 25 years ago still sounds good to me, and has held up well in the test of time. I'm neck deep in tape technology and media. That's my legacy. My kids and those recordings. YMMV. My oldest son reminds me almost daily that everything I have is obsolete. I'm just the obsolete media guy, you could say.
When media supplies come up like this, of course I'm in. You?
It may sound a bit cracked, but I'm still looking to get my Beta Hifi fixed some day.
I'm not sure really. 
Oh well, at least it's out there.
