They said it would never happen. Well, I said it wouldn’t happen. Actually I probably never said it would never happen, but anyway it’s now HAPPENING: I am parting with my collection of ex-rental (and some sell-through) VHS tapes, giving them away to anyone who wants to provide any of them a good home.
Before you get too excited, I’ll be totally honest and say I’m pretty sure
there’s nothing overly rare amongst this list. This is really just to make sure there's not some completist fans out there looking to fill a gap in their collection, or fans of particular
covers etc. The next stop for these, heartbreakingly, is landfill.
That said, these are all being stored out of any discernible order in cardboard
boxes, and I frankly can’t be arsed digging into them and taking photos of a
particular cover. If you want the title, you getting it for free, paying only postage
(anywhere in the world is fine).
All tapes are PAL. Any title (at the end of the list) with an asterisk comes in an old blockbuster 'take home' cover
– there is no sleeve artwork with these tapes.
I can’t make any promises as to the playability of some of these, but most are
in reasonable nick – and let’s face it, it’s mostly about the covers.
If you want anything on this list, leave a comment and we'll take it from there. Payment for postage will be sorted through paypal (unless you can pick up for free from the Brisbane metro area).
May your tracking never need adjusting...
