So a couple days ago me and my buddy Eric did some researchin into the fine world of Cassette Tape Duplication. Fun! Turns out it isn't really that much cheaper than cds though. Not fun. So, a solution was in need.
Thus I turned to ebay to buy my own tape duplicator thinking they'd be like an hundred bucks. Boy was I dead ass wrong. The damn things are 600 dollars and up... used! We almost gave up when I came across this beauty

It doesn't look like much, but this piece of equipment usually runs over $1000 new, and I picked it up for $150 bucks, shipped. This is a 1-to-7 tape duper, hell yes! That's only 15 runs through per 100. BANGIN!
So I'm stoked. Now I just have to figure out how the hell one gets rid of tapes locally (I dunno how many stores would take them) and start a neato little tape label or something.
Other plans for this is to have little slips of paper come with all the tapes leading to a website that you can download the album from just in case you want a digital copy for burning cds or mp3 player purposes (or if you're like me and sit around listening to music on your computer all day).
tl;dr: I'm stoked.
