With regard to the above: I meant to ask (and forgot to add) if it's
reasonable.  I'm also open to counter-offers.

He told me that he can't use them with his current drives, so all is
available.

Not sure about current asking prices, but based on what I paid for the
drive at the time and the usual second-hand reductions, would something
like EUR 80 for the drive (EUR 10 with internal SCSI flatcable
included), EUR 30 per new HP tape, EUR 20 per new non-HP (read: other
vendor than HP), EUR 15 per used HP tape, EUR 10 per used non-HP and
volume discounts based on the quantities?

The Netherlands. 

I assume you're in the US?  You can look up shipping rates on the PostNL
website (also available in English), or I can do it for you. 
(Especially once I know what you're interested in.)

Would LTO-3 tapes possibly interest you, too?  I have a huge pile, both
new and used.  (Also a Quantum U320 HH drive.)

offering: computer, A/V and optical equipment, plus books and more, to be cleared out around mid-December

[MG via cctalk]

Is anyone perhaps interested in any of the following?

It's essentially the remainder of some of my earlier offerings.
I took the time to provide some details (that previously may
have been missing)

I intend to clear out the majority of it by mid-December
(around the 15th), after that it will likely be hauled off
to the recycler.
