Brand Console Tape White 1 in. x 60 yards Individual Retail Shrink Wrapped
Many if not most other listings I saw on eBay for this brand / type of product when I originally created it appeared to come from a "bulk pack" environment.  That means that if you buy from those other vendors you risk getting a smudged or otherwise dirty product due to handling of 'unwrapped' products by warehouse personnel in a less than "clean room" environment.
Here, as shown in the photos, you are buying pairs (up to 2pairs as of 6/28/2021, the day that one of the original 3 pairs listed here was sold) of individually retail shrink wrapped products.  The first 2 photos show a representative pair of these, with the first photo showing the label side up. for both, and the 2d photo showing the back sides of that pair  The next 4 photos (Nos. 3-6) are closer views of a single representative roll of tape.  All surfaces are fully protected from being soiled during handling, unless the shrink wrap covering the surface of a tape is broken (and none of our inventory has any such damage to it).  Photos 1-6 remain representative of one of the two lots of 2 each remaining after that sale that took place on 6/28/2021.
The other remaining lot of 2 wrapped rolls of these wrapped rolls of tape, does have a 'punch through' on the back side (not the side with a label under the shrink wrap) to the open center of the tape roll (as shown in our listing photos. but not through the paper label face on the front side). We show 2 photos of that (Nos. 7-8, with my finger in that hole just as if I was the one who'd punched it through that one layer of shrink wrap), because we take a "warts and all' approach when we choose what photos to include in a listing.  But as to that one item, that would only give access (if someone really wanted access, for some reason) to stretch their finger through the hole (likely making it bigger than it already is) to touch the inside of the paper roll core.  The surface of all of our inventory of tape rolls is and will remain pristine, unless something really terrible happens during shipping.
We have paired that one with the index finger sized hole in the back wrapper center, with another roll that has some slight compression style damage along one edge, as if for example someone had dropped it onto a hard surface and it landed on that edge rather than landing on a broader surface.  This should not have any adverse effect on the use of that roll of tape.  See Photo #9.
But because those 2 tapes have these minor "cosmetic" issues, we've put them together into a single lot which we'll sell last, assuming that someone doesn't buy both lots now remaining available as of the evening of 6/28/2021.  Time permitting, as the last 2 lots now remaining are sold, we'll remove some of the other photos, to make it clear that at that point only that last lot (with the one with the punched hole and the one with the slight "ding" along one edge is left.  This is of course to encourage buyers to buy sooner rather than later, in case the minor cosmetic issues with that one lot of 2 rolls means they'd rather not get that lot if they can avoid it.  We're shrink wrapping those 2 rolls together to make sure that we don't accidentally ship them to any buyer who doesn't buy the entire stock that as of this revision in the evening of 6/28/2021 is now left.
If you have any questions whatsoever as to which lots of tapes remain as of the evening of 6/28/2021, please ask us before bidding.  We usually respond within 3 hours of a message being sent to us through eBay between the hours of 7am-9pm Mondays through Fridays, and often just as quickly to messages sent during those hours on Saturdays and Sundays.
"BEST OFFER" TIPS:
If you want to offer us less than our full "Buy It Now" price, here are some tips about when and why we'd make such a deal with a buyer:  We have certain fixed costs (in almost all cases, over to ship just one lot via USPS Priority Mail; plus ebay fees and what we paid to get these to resell).  There is also time and effort involved.  So while you might like to buy one of these for say per lot, with us paying to ship for free via USPS Priority Mail, we simply can't afford to do that.  But we would be willing to take less than .99 each if you buy 2 more more at once to be shipped together to a single address.  And if you buy more than 4 at once, we'd likely save even more; and if you buy more than 2, the closer you are to us in Northern California, the less it might cost us to ship.  So keep ideas like those in mind when you decide, if making an offer, how much to offer per item.
Note:  ebay has advised us that in listings like this one where we offer a quantity discount if you buy more than one lot at the same time for shipment to a single address together, if you buy as a result of a successful 'Best Offer' negotiation, you don't also get the otherwise automatic quantity discount.  You only get a shot at one type of discount off full price, not both.
WE SHIP QUICKLY AFTER PAYMENT:
Our commitment on this sale is to get your item(s) to the shipper within one business day after payment is completed.  And if a buyer is able to get payment completed by 11am California time on a non-holiday weekday (Mondays through Fridays), we are often able to ship the same day as paid, though our ability to do so has been cut back to some extent both by the current health crisis and, as of August 2020 and going forward for an unknown length of time, wildfires that are causing extremely bad air quality that may linger for 1, 2, or more weeks at a time..  Depending on circumstances at this end and what shipment method applies, we may even be able to do "same day as paid" shipping on a Saturday. (subject to the limitations mentioned above).
Since only one person takes care of shipping (and just about anything else), we can't literally promise same-day-as-paid shipping, since things can always "come up" to prevent that.
We do that when we can, and our feedback shows that our customers appreciate the extra effort.
FREE STANDARD SHIPPING:
We will ship to you via eBay's "Standard" class shipping.  If you buy one lot of 2 tapes we'll ship via USPS First Class Mail.  If you buy 2 lots of 2 tapes each we will ship by at least as fast a method as First Class Mail, which in this case will likely be either USPS Priority Mail, or FedEx Ground or Home Delivery (we get to pick which one to use, and our choice will be guided by what costs us the least to ship to you).
FREE LOCAL PICKUP (BY APPOINTMENT ONLY):
PLEASE READ IF YOU WANT TO PICK THIS UP FROM US AT NO CHARGE TO YOU OTHER THAN YOUR PURCHASE PRICE (plus tax if added by eBay):
If you want the Free Local Pickup option,
it is much better to make that choice before
you finish and pay with "ebay checkout"
.  Ebay used to be very strict about that, though apparently it is now possible, if done very soon after purchase, to arrange with the selle for a local pickup, confirmed in writing by messages between buyer and seller so that ebay will be able to review those messages and decide if to approve an after-the-fact decision by the buyer to want the "local pickup" option, rather than the otherwise automatic choice of shipping if no other choice was made before Checkout was complete, to apply.  Since I almost always my listings set up to have a one business day turnaround time between date of payment and date of shipment (this will sometimes be temporarily seen as 2 or more days, usually because I will be out of town for a few days and won't be able to ship as quickly as usual after a purchase), any post-payment wish to change your choice on this topic has to be done quickly so that I don't get a "ding" on my timely shipments record for not shipping as fast as the listing says I would do, that I then have to spend would could be an hour or more on the phone, trying to get ebay to remove.
And one more thing:  We're a small outfit that does not have an always-available pickup or customer service department, so
pickups must be by appointment only
.
Please don't show up unannounced and assume you can be helped
.  We're reasonable people at this end, however, as our feedback should show, so if we work together, setting up an appointment that works for all should not be difficult. Thanks!
RETURNS IN GENERAL
:
Please be sure to save all shipping and packing materials (box, padding, etc.) for the length of the potential return period, in the event a return is to take place.  If you have any questions at all about the condition of the materials, however, please contact us first to confirm that we would authorize you to re-use those materials in returning an item to us, since sometimes those materials get chewed up enough during initial delivery that they need to be repaired or replaced before being re-used.
NO-FAULT RETURNS
:  30 calendar day return time, running from date of first attempt at delivery by the chosen shipper to your ebay verified shipping address, if you return these for any or no reason in the same condition as sent, at your expense.  However, if you do something that causes one of these to fail in use, e.g., if you spill your drink onto one of these and stain it, ruin its "stickiness", etc., that is a good example of what would not qualify as a "NO-FAULT RETURN".
CLAIMED SELLER FAULT RETURNS:
Ebay lets you return almost anything within 30 days after receiving it, if what was purchased is not what the listing represented it to be, no matter what limitations a seller may try to put on the reasons for return (and many do).  Please see exact details as provided by eBay at the top of this listing.  To the extent that ebay allows it, you must use a shipping class and type that costs no more than what we used to ship your item(s) to you.
NOTE ABOUT EBAY'S NEW POLICY STARTING IN 2019 REGARDING CHARGING SALES TAX ON INTERNET SALES:
On January 3, 2019, we received the following message from ebay, that you as a potential buyer should know about
:
"If you sell to buyers in the US, some states may require you to collect applicable Internet Sales Tax on your transactions. In such cases, eBay calculates, collects, and remits Internet Sales Tax for orders shipped to customers on your behalf. After we collect state Internet Sales Tax, you do not need to take any action. There are no extra charges or fees for this service. Learn more about Internet Sales Tax on our Help pages."
Now we don't claim to be tax experts, attorneys, etc. What we think the above basically means is that, as has recently happened regarding purchases on some other online 'stores' such as Amazon, if you buy something on ebay that you would have had to pay sales tax on, if you'd bought it instead from a local store like a hardware store, a Best Buy store, etc., in your state, ebay might now charge you sales tax on that item on behalf of your state, by adding your state's sales tax to your purchase price and what ebay says you are to pay. In other words, if you buy something from us for with free shipping, and you are in a state with a sales tax of 10%, ebay will in many cases charge you by adding .00 to your .00 purchase price. They'd then send that of tax money, that was part of that total that ebay had you pay, to your state.
We as the seller never see that money, so even if you can claim to be "sales tax exempt" for any reason, we can't "refund" it to you because we would never have received it in the first place. Even if you told us before you purchased the item, and sent us documentation to prove such exempt status, we as the seller do not (as far as we are aware at this point) have any way to stop eBay from adding state sales tax to what you bought. And even if you sent us documentation before or after the purchase, as some sellers have done with us in the past, and asked us either to refund the amount of tax paid, or if not yet paid, ask us to custom create an invoice that does not charge tax, we don't know that that's going to keep ebay from adding state sales tax anyway.
Now at least some states, specifically California, may provide a way on your tax return forms to list sales tax that you paid but you claim you didn't have to pay, and request a refund from the state.  All we can do here is warn you, as we have done. If any of this concerns you, we invite you to contact ebay and ask them to help you.

FREE EXPEDITED SHIPPING VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL:
That's right.  You buy any of the lots featured in this listing, regardless of the number, and you get free USPS Priority Mail shipping.  And if you purchase and pay fairly early in the day, we might be able to ship the same day as paid.  Otherwise our usual commitment -- that we will ship within 1 business day of completed payment -- will apply.
