Apparently there's not really a market for used kazoos.

I want a couple kazoos, but I don't want plastic waste.

Ebay's used kazoo selection is non-existent. Etsy has a few, but £10 per each is taking the piss.

Etsy also has new metal and wooden kazoos which also seems like overkill, although it is less plastic.

@celesteh I know it isn't exactly what you were looking for, but you can make your own kazoo.

3 Ways to Make a Kazoo - wikiHow

The kazoo is a fun musical instrument that's made of a hollow pipe connected to small, round holes. When you blow air into the pipe, it's carried into a thin barrier that bounces it back and forth through the kazoo to make a cool buzzing...

@hoco I forgot you could do this.

@celesteh if you add z to the tar command lines it compresses it on the fly so it doesn't use as much bandwidth. (tar cvzf -) and (tar xzf -). That used to matter a lot more than it does now.

Also, I used to put the v on the receiving tar, not the sending tar, because if I saw a filename it meant it had made it to the destination.

@hoco This is excellent advice for tar (although I usually gzip as a separate step to take advantage of the flag --best), but I think you may have meant to reply to a different thread with it.
