Song of the South (UK Pal, factory sealed Disney) Scream 2 VHS on sale this week so only paid 50 cents each on these two.

At Kutztown BIN I paid $1 for three bankers boxes full of someone's off-cable VHS collection. About 90 in all. Mostly T120's and a bunch of T160's that look unused. The few I have looked through are typical 6hr recording format from TVland shows. And a few PBS musical specials. They seem to be from the late 80's. More to browse through but if nothing else, I got a ton of reusable tapes. Maybe I will record Letterman's last shows on VHS for fun.

How true. I've went to some local estate sales on 'everything must go' day and filled some paper shopping bags (1$ for a bag of anything you put in it) with tapes.

The last movie I got was THE DREAM TEAM (1989) -- This one IS NOT DIGITALLY RECORDED and looks (to me) 100% better! (And the audio is better also)
The original MCA release (1989) is DIGITALLY RECORDED and its sad really!!

Most recently, I purchased two secondhand movies on VHS tapes from a thrift store: Ocean's Eleven (the "remake") and Rain Main.
I was going to make the effort to haul out the 30 year old Zenith 13" table TV and Penney's 2 head VCR, but at least for Ocean's Eleven, I just watched on a Toshiba DVD/VHS combo rescued from the curb a few years ago, and a Panasonic 42" plasma TV because both were set up and ready to go. The upscaler in the Panasonic TV did an impressive job.

Just picked up:
Harriet the Spy Nickelodeon Goosebumps The Haunted Mask II And off the record, i'm particularly excited about my laser disc find. A 3 piece ox set of Sean Connery James Bond 007. Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger. Paid record price since they didn't know what it was and stuck it on the record rack. About 25 or 50 cents near mint.

Don't remember the last tape I purchased, but right now dubbing "Days Of Wine And Roses", the 1958 TV production with Cliff Robertson and Piper Laurie. The recording was originally made as a kinescope on film, and the artifacts are certainly visible. It adds to the 'charm". Almost as good as a video tape original.

I dont know if buying blank VHS tapes for time shifting and recording shows for keepers is legit for this topic but I picked up a batch from Walmart last week which I get them say about two times a month there.
Around the beginning of the year .I got some self recorded tapes from my neighbor with movies and some TV shows on them.
