People with Dementia often forget how to use modern devices, yet retain far more memory about both the music and the devices that they used in their youth in my experience. What better gift to bring to them in the care home or whatever than the music they loved when they were younger, and a way where they can just press a button to play it for themselves. Perhaps that, in part, explains all the old stuff being valuable. (Speaking as a person who can hardly turn the TV on now, with the 5 remotes...... )

I bought a Kraftwerk cassette tape from a charity shop bin for 50p. Sold it for £27.00.- best sale yet on cassette media.

Being from Germany: I sold a 70´s rock compilation cassette for 15 Euros last year, which blew my mind. What also has a significant value now are old rap cd´s, not just 90s, but early to mid 2000s, just as you also stated. What for me also really works good is 80s rock (e.g. Smashed Gladys) and 90s Trance, Rave and Electro music, so Love Parade days, just a Euro at the flea market, always get above 10 back.

Charity shops near me have twigged that cassettes are becoming a thing again - they charge way more than CDs. One had 3 CDs for £1, and a few rock cassettes were £2 each!

Wow some cool nostalgia there Nic 😊 great video. The profit you make is like a finders fee not everyone can spend time finding these older cassettes you definitely earn the££

Had the George Michael Greatest Hits been released on vinyl LP. It would be worth a small fortune now.

One thing with the tape storage is that it's worth promoting them to retro game collectors. There's a huge market for people who still collect games for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum etc and cases are always handy!

Still got loads of tapes and a few Sony Walkmans in the collection! Don't buy many tapes these days although there are a few I try to collect from a pretty obscure range, Mastersound (a spin off from an 80s games publisher). Only 9 tapes were ever released but I've only ever found two of them!
