Whats the most you've paid for a vhs tape?

me, would probably be for 'Braindead' I managed to find it in HMV on Oxford Street, about 11 ~ 12 years ago cost me around £35. It came in this extra big case with great artwork. It was an exclusive to hmv at the time.

I may end up having to pay $22 for The Nanny (Bette Davis) on VHS...I keep checking back to find a cheaper one, but no luck yet...I'm really hoping to find one in a set...

Is that the one with the puffy fold out cover?

This store still has a lot of tapes for rental, a lot of hard to find stuff, but since they had these on dvd they let me have them. get it?

Heh heh...I spent $35 on a "Godzilla vs the Sea Monster" VHS tape once, from a store that used to mark up stuff they knew was rare. They had some resident geek working for them that knew about obscure movies--I never saw this person, but this person was there, certainly, because everything rare would ALWAYS be marked way way up so the store could screw you for what it had coming to it. "This cheesy tape is rare, and some poor fool will pay $35 for this if he has to..."

Aw, heck, it was worth it, though. Fun movie.

when VHS tapes first came out - only the rental stores bought them .. or rich guys ..

i remember some titles being close to $100

I remember that...The video stores would put the prices on the backs of the cases...If anyone lost a movie they would charge them $60-$100...That was insane...

i paid a fortune for The Abyss when it came out .. that wasnt that long ago.

but worth it .. the super nice old greek couple that ran the video store i went to gave me the promotional package for The Abyss which is a gorgeous thing worth a fair buck now... certainly worth more than i paid for the movie itself.

You should know better than to accept a gift from Greeks!

I'd keep an eye on that Abyss Promo Package if I were you:D

obviously you havent taken our diversity course yet young man !

you'll find it under the eEthics heading on the intranet home page.
