Not that I collect VHS but I do buy it if it's a movie I'd want to watch. I mostly try to buy letterbox or widescreen, mostly.
I got an Extreme Surfing video that I watched last night. It was from 1990 and featured guy I was familiar with and some great ripping action.

Yesterday we got Jurassic Park and The Lion King on Laser Disc, each for a dime. Both are letterbox too.

A dime?! Man, I'm getting ripped off! I have to pay $2 or $3 for my LaserDiscs...although buying $10 players makes up for it, I guess.

Anyway, I'm not a VHS collector, but after seeing this guy on the 'Tube, I may have to look a little more closely at the VHS racks.

i like cheezy horror films and have a pretty good collection of 80's flicks..and i dont really see teh big deal in purchasing them on vhs ...usually i always find a huge stockpile of them at value village or the local goodwill for $2 a pop and such....as far as my more favorite films ? i usually buy them on DVD.

Well, if anybody finds a VHS copy of "Alice, Sweet Alice" grab it! It's an excellent 70s horror movie, and I don't think it's on DVD.

I guess I don't consider myself a collector of VHS but I do have a lot of them.  I pick them when I find one I like.  I especially like classic movies-specifically muscials.

I have a ton of them, but I don't consider myself a collector.  I'm too cheap to splurge for TIVO, so I still buy blank VHS tapes when they're priced sensibly at goodwill of salvation army.

See you next time
by for now

That's what some of the records go for here. Expensive area I live in.
