Not to make your plight more difficult, but saying "I am selling them for real cheap to what I paid for them so I think they are a steal' I'm not sure about. Trader's Library just had a megasale on many of these tapes for $9.99 each about a month or two ago which I'm sure many people here know about.

But the problem is you're making so many mistakes that until you take the time to learn you'll never really be successful trading. When you're in the middle of it perhaps you can't see this. And some people really do have to learn the hard way. I really do wish you well though. I mean that sincerely
