mini dv tapes in bulk?

[H.Z.]

So... I feel like this might be a particularly dumb question, but where do y'all get mini dv tapes in bulk from? I've been googling it for a while and I'm having a hard time finding more than 10 packs. Thanks!

I buy all my media at http://www.totalmedia.com:80/index.html

I saw some on eBay but they aren't really that cheap

If you're going to be shooting a movie and want the best, or you want the worst B & H has great prices.

I generally buy from The Tape Company (www.thetapecompany.com). They don't have prices listed online but you get your own personal rep and they will work with you on prices. I primarily use them because they have a shipping center near Chicago (where I am) so I can call and an hour later pick up my order.

Another place I've used that is pretty good is Tape Stock Online (www.tapestockonline.com).

Stardust, does Fullcompass have a store or just mailorder? I'm from Edgerton (20 Min south of Madtown) and have nowhere to get decent gear.

Everyone has their source
I get tapes and gold CDs etc. at Empress Media, NYC.

Hi Leigh,

Full Compass has a store in Madison, just off Mineral Piont road. They just moved in to it from
their old location in Middletion, the new place is HUGE!
