Used to work at a donation place and the amount of VHS that are in mint condition that were thrown away baffled my head, (legend/Lost boys/Dark Crystal/never ending story/willow/evil dead/starwars) it was beyond nuts lol

[brianblankenship]

Am I the only one who goes tape hunting in person and looks for fun or weird stuff? All this eBay betting and hunting mint tapes or viewing it as an investment absolutely blows chunks to the fun of digging through bins and finding something great.

Enjoyed this video! I've been collecting VHS since my childhood. Always nice meeting other tape heads!

# tip. stop being weird and taking a hobby too far. Get a damn player, a CRT and just have fun. Some of yall get so weird and go way too far with all the special cases and searching for valueable plastic instead of just having fun.

For some reason, I’ve been taking all of the collector additions. I don’t know why I just been taking every collector edition I could see.

[suppengroove]

wow. that was contradictory :D
no. 4: be quick! could be gone
no. 3: there will probably another one. don't worry

make up your mind!

Where can you find rare Michael Jackson concert footage?

[maskedathiest]

i have wanted to do something similar to my collection on the wall.
is it just a 1x2 that the tapes are sitting on?

[BKDDY]

Like everything it can be expensive.
Its $130-150 for a box set I want which can be had on Bluray for $20 lmao

Hey, started taking the really old vintage cartoons and old movies like super old movies classics gone with the wind started grading them as well.

These tips suck. They're the most generic suggestions I've ever seen. Things to actually look for is mold on a tape, look to make sure the box isn't damaged with water stains or mold on the inside of the box, check for certain labels like AIP or Dead Alive that have limited print runs and put out some crazy movies. Star Wars and the Goonies had millions of copies printed. The only valuable ones to own of those mainstream movies are stupid rare, good luck if that's what you really want but the true fun of collecting movies is finding the crazy shit you've never seen and probably don't want to.

Dude could not have said it better! true movie collector right there!

[JohnSmith-zlrz]

"Investment" LOL yeah right!!!

[joshua.snyder]

Brought to you by...the same scammers selling sealed WATA games! Investing in VHS is idiotic.

[nitube]

I have a ton of VHS cassettes. Do collectors buy used or just sealed?

[IloveHamberger]

I go to thrift stores and music stores and am able to pick up tapes for a few pennies to a dollar each

[Discerningotaku]

It’s amazing how wrong everything you’re saying is. Please stop spreading false information around. It truly goes to show how little you know about this.

[turbos]

Did you just buy a bunch of cheap common titles in duplicates that no one else wanted? These aren’t “top titles” or “rare titles” you are showing. You have 20 copies of ET? Lol. So did every single video store. Why would anyone want to pay for something so common???

[davidokelly]

I am new to VHS collecting and somehow vicariously am following these rules.
Might be cause I'm also a retro game collector. Idk. Spread the good word!

[ACommenterOnYouTube]

Most of these movies CANNOT be streamed at all
