I’ve recently inherited a huge cabinet full of the fuckers and don’t know how to get rid of them. Is there some kind of collectors market for this?

Might want to call Lightning Fast VCR Repair in Milwaukee.

Would not recommend. I haven’t been able to watch my Night Court tapes in over twenty years because of those fraudsters.

Whatcha got fam? 📼 👀

In general, horror movies are the most desirable, that’s what makes up most of my collection. Well-regarded movies like Scorcese, Kubrick, etc. will have buyers too. TV recordings can be valuable or worthless depending on what they are. Typical action and comedy movies are a dime-a-dozen and you’d be better off just donating them.

Tapes are notoriously much more fragile than they seem. Also collectors don’t tend to care unless it’s absolutely in perfect condition or it’s something rare that has scenes or something that never made the jump to DVD.

You definitely might have something if you’ve got rare recordings of TV or movies that never got put on other formats.

psssh no. They still sell them by the bin in the thrift stores here like 10 for $10.

What you want is broadcast TV recordings. Sometimes archivists will pay for those if it’s never been digitized.
