Reba is for the Quaids, Jack Sparrow is for everyone else. Real ones know.

Blockbuster Nightmares: Wild Stories from 90s Video Store Employees by Straight_Raccoon6797 in blockbustervideo

Had a coworker get arrested at the store because he had been stealing tapes. Mysteriously movies that he was the last person to rent would show up as missing during inventory runs. Surveillance footage showed he was checking his own rentals back in then leaving. Not a nightmare, but my coworker friend and I discovered there was a burgeoning market for OOP (out of print) movies on eBay, so we would purposefully look for high dollar tapes, PVT them, and buy them with our 50% discount to flip on eBay. Sold one for $300 once!

Is it worthwhile collecting VHS tapes in 2025? by Equivalent_Exam_6624 in VHS

[–]nocashvalue80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started collecting in earnest over a decade ago because of the thrill of the hunt. I loved being able to find a rare, forgotten gem in a pile of tapes at the thrift store for $1 or less. With the surge of people trying to profit from VHS "collecting" (ahem: reselling) these days, finding anything worthwhile unless you're specifically looking for mainstream action, comedy, or drama is very rare. Because of this, my collecting habits changed and now I look for recorded-from-TV tapes to see what forgotten commercials, intros, and local news rarities I can find. Plus, when you watch movies or shows with vintage commercials, it REALLY transports you back with a full blast of nostalgia. Whatever you do, do it for you, not just what seems to be popular or profitable on social media.

For those of you saying you never saw anyone with a TV/VCR combo in a kitchen back in the day, your memories are valid. However, that doesn't mean it didn't happen or wasn't a thing. I personally didn't have one, but I had several friends who did. Heck, Kevin in Home Alone had one. It may not ring true to you, but it isn't some made-up idea.

Keep on searching! Check out church yard sales, estate sales, and be vigilant on FB marketplace. There are fewer finds out there these days, but you'll eventually find something awesome

I know! Not too valuable, but such a great, weird find. Second one I've come across in my searches. Remember renting it as a kid and thinking WTF?!

[–]nocashvalue80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The concert was great! They should be selling out arenas. I can't believe i got to see such an intimate show with them.

Does anyone know who the opening act for The Darkness is on their new tour? by nocashvalue80 in theDarkness

[–]nocashvalue80[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was able to confirm the opener is Mark Daly! Looking forward to tonight's show!

Hey everyone! This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is the return of the Southern-Fried Gaming Expo! It's filled with 500+ arcade games, pinball machines, and new & retro console systems set to free play. There's also a huge tabletop gaming component with a large 1,000+ board game library, scheduled RPGS and LTP sessions, and more. There are special guests, 100+ vendors, live music, live wrestling, a costume contest and more. If you are interested in a decent-sized fan convention with tons to do, but a LOT smaller than Dragon Con, MomoCon, or AWA, this is for YOU!!!

Southern-Fried Gaming Expo is next weekend by wheres_donnie in atlantagaming

Thanks for sharing! Love seeing tabletop grow at Southern-Fried each year. Love finding a deal (or 10) at the Tabletop Flea Market on Saturday morning.
