About twice have I seen CEDs in those type of venues in the last 5 years, but I see them a LOT at the thrift stores...Probably north of 20 times in the last 5 years.
I've gotten around 10 Beta tapes from thrifts in the last few years, and about as many beta decks. Fairly common out here, but it is always a slow trickle of tapes maybe one or two at a time (about half the time inside a deck I bought), lots are hard to come upon except a crate of rentals at a ham fest, and a BUNCH of shrink wrapped blanks, and recorded tapes with a betacam (t'was a granny's rig and the crappy cameraman-ship was comical).
