Who wants their releases available on tape?

Hi,
I want to resolve your problems with getting tapes out with a new web site called TapesOnDemand.com which will produce and ship computer tapes just in time. For that I'm collecting titles. VIC-20 first.
Here's the standard deal: high-quality(!) tape production (digitally printed inlay and labels) and shipping world-wide will eat away €6.50. On top of that you can specify the price of your release of which I'll receive 30% – €1 would be the minimum I want – so a tape should be around €9.99 unless you decide to not want to earn anything with it. Payments can be done via PayPal or UK wire. There is no VAT yet.
Please hit me with your releases, new or old, I won't care. Am curious with what kind of binaries or, if possible, artwork you can come up with, so I can figure out what can be automated and we can play around with things a bit.
In the simplest case just say "yes", send a link to the binary and name your preferred price. I can provide you with a turbo loader and title audio player (yep, the playing-samples-from-tape thing) if you have a tune handy. Links to reviews, Youtube videos and quotes from magazines would also be nice to have.
The tapes will be black, have serial numbers on their labels (for each release) and will be ten minutes in length on each side, so plenty can go onto them.
My email address would be pixel ät hugbox dot org if you prefer that to private message in the forum.
So much for starters. More ideas welcome. Or just tell me that this is probably a bad idea.
love + respect
