Michael,

DAT/DDS tapes have a shelf life of what?  10 years?  depending on the number of times it it have been used.

Since a potential buyer would have know way of knowing how old the tape is or the wear on the tape, it would be foolish to buy it.

So, I prefer your solution.

Does anyone know of a company in the South East Texas area, that will erase tapes, or someone that has a degausser for DAT tapes for sale or rent.

I've already recommended the following:

  1. Find a hard surface (preference to steel).
  2. Good high dollar construction goggles.
  3. A 32oz to 64oz hammer.
