I was looking to buy some more NFC tags and thought about buying them in bulk to resell here or on ebay/amazon. I've seen some good prices where I can get some for well under $1 each, but I wanted to see what types of tags others were buying. I was looking into 35*35MM Ultralight C label with sticky backs, since they fit my needs well. What do you guys think?

I'm interested more in which type of tag you use. Size, shape, color, sticker, etc.

These are what I am using and are getting replaced (there was an error when they had a batch made so they are swapping them)

They absolutely have to hold more than 44kb. I too had a "bad batch". If you can get any with more memory than the website it would give you the best market share.

Ordered mine on Amazon from Web Evolved. Got a 10 pack of 1mb mifare 35mm circle classics. Works amazingly well with NFC Task Launcher. Web Evolved ruled and had amazing customer service.

[Only registered users can view links. ] sells a variety of NFC Tags.
The NFC Key Chains they sell come in many different colors, I have some of these.

If you are not sure which NFC chip to get, take a look at this comparison table [Only registered users can view links. ]

Tagstand replaced the unformatted ones for me.
ICS 4.02 doesn't recognize unformatted tags.
So I downloaded a free competititor's program, wrote a small text file and then was able to program the tags with Tagstand's app.
They sent me every tag they have to review so when I have some time I will do a review of how easy it is to program them, etc.
Only thing I haven't figured out is Task 1 and Task 2 in the app itself.

Are you talking about the Task 1 and Task 2 in NFC Task Launcher App?
You can set 1 single tag to do two different activities. The first time the tag is tapped, it will do Task 1 (ex: turn on wifi and turn off bluetooth) and then tapped again it will do task 2 (ex: turn off wifi, turn on bluetooth, etc).
The phone will alternate between the 2 tasks.
