By any chance, do you have any nice/rare blanks (such as Reel Cleer, Ampex studio tapes, Scotch Scream'r, etc)?

Quite a few rare type IV tapes but I keep them around for very specific stuff I want on tape. Moreso for collecting than anything, not some huge hoard of tapes but a few of the most notable ones.

Memory Express in Canada has had a good supply of AMD cards for like 2 months now if not longer. Not always on their site but if you walk in you see them on the shelves. Thats why it always throws me off when I hear youtubers talk about how rare AMD cards are, when I bought mine about 6 weeks ago I have like 9-10 different ones to pick from 

Yup.  Saskatoon location has had AMD in stock more than a few times I was there.  

I walked in there a few months ago by accident just killing time and they had 6700xt, 6800xt, 6900xt, 3070's and 3090's.  I grabbed a 6900xt cause it was $500 cheaper then the 3090.

Freebie from my mobile phone provider. Pairs well with my AppleTV & sounds better than my soundbar that cost 3x as much as one of these at retail

Why not ....... you never know when you need a flash drive. For example, if I want some of my information from the hospital on my own flash drive, it needs to be in an unopened package.

  Reveal hidden contents

I have about 20 memory sticks. But not any USB-C. Need to buy "a few"

I agree, having spare flash drives is very useful. Sometimes there's data on one you can't wipe so you need a fresh one.

ok, fair.

I keep 3 blank ones and use them for iso images and other data

I also keep a ton of personal things on the drive that stays with me.

But I am just asking @soldier_ph what he is going to use them for.

Got some more cassettes and the Sony Walkman WM F41 from Retrospekt

It came with the most early 90’s cassette single that ever existed.

They’re fully refurbished and rebuilt from Retrospekt, I figured it was worth the price over buying one and having to refurb it myself.

new belts, demagnetized head, lubricated, this one had a new motor installed, fully cleaned

eBay. I've been watching the listing for a couple of days and no one decided to grab it. Costed less than used ones with a couple thousand (or 20K) shutter actuations.

It really is great eBay! I had my doubts but then I decided to go for it considering the price was just right, and having the money back guarantee just in case (you never know) kept my mind at ease.

mine was a 30 dat return and a seller that is very good at what they do

Mine didn't offer any returns and didn't have too much feedback on their page. I questioned them before buying and I just had to believe what they were saying.

Also...I got plenty of SD cards and microSD cards to go around!!! (tempted to return the SD cards considering their write speeds are not the greatest. Let me know what you think).

Amazon, they were pretty cheap there for the microSD cards.

The SD cards I picked up from a discount store, they have probably 6-8 more packs that were being sold for $5 a pack.
