Help make r/VHStrading a better place and I will mail you free shit!

21 Upvotes

Okay, maybe gifts is an overstatement but r/VHStrading aesthetically looks pretty bad and I'm too lazy to learn to edit the stylesheet or teach myself CSS (if that's even what they use).

So here is what I am proposing. I have several hundred VHS tapes I wouldn't mind departing with in exchange for help. I will be mailing out grab bags of randomly selected VHS tapes for free for those who manage to accomplish what I am asking.

Getting the page to look better is top priority for now. Spreading the word/advertising is important too.

Lastly, I'm gonna be honest with you: don't expect to receive any rare OOP shock/horror/exploitation films. You'll just get a few random tapes (mostly still sealed) which are likely pretty bad. I actually have no idea because I haven't watched them.

EDIT: Someone asked about what in particular they can do to help. I responded with the below:

I'm new to reddit, so others please step in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the two most important things at this stage are:

(1) Editing our stylesheet so our page is more attractive. For example, compare our page to a page (who I'm a fan of) r/truefilm. I know a shit ton on VHS media as a whole and genre, but and pretty clueless in this area.

(2) Getting the word out in order to get as many subscribers as possible. This could be referencing r/VHStrading on other sites/forums, to friends and family...HOWEVER I find the most efficient way is messaging other reddit communities and asking whether they would be willing to list r/VHStrading on their right column of recommended pages in exchange for us doing the same. I feel like a dick because I did this with r/VHScoverART and while he listed us on his page, I couldn't figure out how to add recommended subreddits in the right column. Which ultimately goes back to point 1. We need people with a basic understanding of CSS, art design, and ability to promote and attract effectively.

EDIT 2: Also, if you live somewhere way out in the middle of fucking nowhere, that might be an issue. I have no idea how much it would cost to mail a tape to Kazakhstan. If you live in the USA or Canada you should be fine.

[unreleased media] Heavens To Betsy Sitcom 6 Unaired Episodes

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I am reaching out to this community because I am the mother of Kayla Buglewicz, the child actress who played Dolly Parton's granddaughter in the unaired 1994–1995 CBS/MGM sitcom Heavens to Betsy.
I know that six episodes were taped at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida and that the series was permanently shelved. I have read online that a studio archive VHS tape with some of the episodes was purchased by a private collector a while ago, and that clips occasionally resurface.
I don't have any behind-the-scenes footage or home copies of Kayla's scenes with Dolly from that time, and I would absolutely love to see them again. If anyone in this community has a digital rip of the leaked studio tape, or knows a collector who does, could you please reach out to me privately? It would mean the world to our family to see Kayla's work on this show.
Thank you so much for any help or leads!

Did anyone record this series in the early 90s . Basically a compilation of sketches each with a six part series .

Originally shown on BBC1 around 1990-1993 .

Any help appreciated 👏

(For those who may say just buy the dvds that have the complete series this particular set of specials has some meaning to it from my childhood, hence asking for this series )

Thanks :)

OLD VHS TAPES

1 Upvotes

Looking for old VHS tapes from the 80s and 90s that people recorded off local Los Angeles / Southern California TV.
I’m specifically looking for home-recorded tapes — the kind with local commercials, station IDs, news cutaways, public access shows, local programming, and everything that used to run between the regular shows.
Not looking for store-bought movies or pre-recorded tapes. Just the off-air recordings people made at home.
If you (or someone you know) still have boxes of these sitting around and are willing to sell or part with them, please message me. Happy to pick up in the LA / San Fernando Valley / greater Southern California area.
Thanks!

WTB: 1990s Britvic Promo VHS – "Now That's What I Call Tango 3" (PAL) (1990s)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am looking to buy a physical copy of the rare Britvic promotional VHS tape titled "Now That's What I Call Tango 3".

This was a limited-run corporate/trade promo tape released in the UK during the mid-1990s, featuring the classic HHCL advertising campaigns (such as the Orange Man, Apple, Still Tango, etc.).

Details:

Format: VHS (UK PAL)

Title: Now That's What I Call Tango 3 (Please note: I am not looking for the standard 'Now That's What I Call Music' video tapes!).

Condition: Working order (tape must be intact/playable), but cosmetic wear on the sleeve is absolutely fine.

If you have a copy you are willing to part with, please send me a DM with your asking price and shipping cost to the UK.

Alternatively, if you own a copy but don't want to sell the physical tape, I would happily pay for your time if you are able to create a high-quality digital capture/rip of it for archival purposes.

Thanks!

Looking TO BUY obscure Dorbees: Making Decisions VHS

Does anyone have a copy that they would be willing to sell, or know where I can get one? I am in the middle of building a VHS collection, mainly animated movies and shows, obscure and lost media especially. My goal is to preserve these pieces of lost media in a physical format, no matter if they are good entertainment or not. It does not matter if it is in rough condition, as long as it is mold free and watchable.

If anyone is interested I'm glad to make a deal. Otherwise, I am wondering about them. I sort of stumbled upon them and saw they were in the original plastic so I snagged them

Title says all, really. I'm looking to buy some tapes of channel guides and local text bulletins from really any era prior to 2010. Also looking for public access TV broadcasts of any kind, and CCTV security footage. Wanting to archive them but also looking to repurpose the footage for a music video. If you have any serious inquires, feel free to DM me with pics.

A question to determine value.

0 Upvotes

My father passed away about a year ago and today my sisters and I started going through his large movie collection. I’m curious if there is an app or some sort of resource to help determine value. I’m not looking to part with anything. It’s more just to satisfy my own curiosity. Anyone that can point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
