Re: When will blank tape market peak?

Hi All,

Metals are not presently being manufactured by any company. So, they will continue to rise in price as they become rarer. Even if one manufacturer decided to do occasional runs of a type IV, prices for other discontinued metal type would only decline slightly. This is because the majority of present metal buyers might not use them - many are collectors and into it for the simple pleasure of owning something good - and on the off-chance that they want to make that ultimate recording they can exercise the discretion to do so. They are also not consciously speculating - although that could turn out positively for them. I have lots of unopenend metals and don't have any intention of flogging them off to pay for commonplace twaddle that should have been budgeted for.
