$1000+ 8 Tracks Sold on eBay

Maybe the economy is picking up or maybe people forget what some things sell for, or maybe there's just a bunch of shill bidding going on at eBay, but whatever the reason there were some huge prices on 8 track tapes the past couple of weeks.

The highest price attained for any tape recently was for the Creedence Clearwater Revival, Creedence Gold quad pictured at the left. Someone apparently paid (or at least bid) $1484 for this tape, which usually sells in the $100-300 range! Check out our 8 Track Quad Price Guide to see this tape's value and others too.

The next highest price attained was for another quadraphonic tape, this one for Pink Floyd's UK release of Dark Side of the Moon, for which someone paid $1050. This price too blows away the previous high and is well beyond the range of its expected value, though, again, it was a nice cartridge and it had the original picture box.

The highest priced stereo cart was for a sealed copy of the Sparks, A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing, which brought $80. A sealed version of the Stone's Exile on Main Street also brought $80.
