THAT IS VERY COOL...BUT HER SELECTION IS SLIM.



I AM FAMOUSLY KNOWN TO HAVE A PHYSICAL MEDIA COLLECTION OF ABOUT 30,000 TITLES ACROSS MULTIPLE FORMATS.😎

reply

Yeah, but she's cute. You aren't.

reply

YEAH I AM...GETTING BUFFER BY THE DAY TOO...IT'S OK TO BE INTIMDATED BY ME...YOU SHOULD BE.

reply

I think you meant to say your face looks like it needs to buffer.

reply

LMAO...OK...THAT WAS FUNNY....DO MORE SHIT LIKE THAT....LESS SHIT LIKE USUAL.

reply

Don't encourage him.

reply

I never do shit. All my posts are elite.

No one is cuter than Kowalski.

KOWALSKI™️ WEARING A COAT MADE FROM THE FUR OF 101 DALMATIONS WOULD BE SUPER DUPER CUTE!😍

reply

I've taken shits that were cuter than Kowalski.

reply

How many vhs do you think you have? Are you worried about mold?

reply

VHS...PROBABLY 3 OR 4 THOUSAND...I AM IN CALIFORNIA...MOLD ISN'T AN ISSUE HERE REALLY...MELTING WOULD BE THE ISSUE.

reply

Do they even sell VHS Players anymore in 2024, even from a vintage collection shop??

reply

YUP...FIND THEM AT VINTAGE SHOPS...THRIFT STORES...YARD SALES...EBAY...THEY GO FOR DECENT MONEY ON EBAY...I HAVE SOLD A FEW DOZEN...CURRENTLY I AM SITTING ON A DOZEN WORKING SONY VCRS...SO I AM SET.

reply

How much do you sell the VCR's for??

reply

DEPENDS ON THE BRAND...MODEL...CONDITION...WORKING OR FOR PARTS ONLY...WITH REMOTE OR WITHOUT...DO YOU PACKAGE IT UP WITH CORDS AND EXTRAS LIKE A KIT...OR JUST THE MACHINE.


BUT....THE SONY PLAYER I USE AND HAVE A GRIP OF SPARES OF GOES FOR 80 TO 100 DEPENDING...THERE ARE MODELS THAT GO FOR HUNDREDS AND SOME THAT ONLY GOT FOR 60 OR 70...BUT IT'S ALL GOOD CASH...EVEN BROKEN VCRS FOR PARTS ONLY GENERALLY GO FOR 40 OR 50 BUCKS AND UP.

reply

I still have a VCR.

reply

YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR.😎

reply

I still have about 100 tapes that I just can’t quit. I must’ve had a few thousand at one point.

reply

WHEN DVD CAME OUT I GOT RID OF TOO MANY VHS TAPES I WISH I STILL HAD...WHO KNEW THEY WERE GONNA TURN INTO RETRO GOLD WHEN MY HAIR STARTED FALLING OUT.

reply

I won’t tell you what happened to mine - you’ll only get depressed 😔

reply

😔🪦

reply

😵💀

reply

Do you have them because you can't find them anywhere else?

reply

No, just the best of the best.

reply

Then let them go, man.

reply

Maybe if I ever run out of room.

reply


Owning some old titles on VHS would be an absolute prize. Especially if the quality is still good.

reply

I PICK UP MY FAVORITE MOVIES ON VHS JUST BECAUSE ALL THE TIME...I HAVE SOME AWESOME HORROR VHS GOODIES PUT AWAY IN SOME BOXES TOO.

reply


Nice Kowalski. Nice.

reply

My daughter and a couple of their friends work at a local thrift store here. They have instructions to bring all turn tables, VCRs, vintage stereo equipment and all VHS horror titles straight to me. Now all I need is more storage room. 😊

But yeah, vintage horror on VHS seems to always be the most sought after ones.

reply

FIRST THING I AM GETTING WHEN I GET MORE MONEY FLOWING THROUGH MY WALLET IS THE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET VHS BOXSET THAT MAKES THE FREDDY MURAL....I HAD THAT...I GOT RID OF IT WHN I GOT THE DVD SET AND I HAVE ALWAYS REGRETTED IT...AND NOW IT GOES FOR LIKE A HUNDRED BUCKS.

reply

Unfortunately I know that feeling too. I hope you can splurge on that one soon. I look at stuff on eBay for weeks and think I must be crazy for wanting a high priced item, but I usually end up pulling the trigger at some point.

reply

To be fair, she’s only been doing it for 6 months.

reply

YEAH...I BET SHE DOES IT REAL NICE TOO.😐

reply

Future Shock!⚡️
I wonder if she’s a fan of the 2000AD comic book?

reply

Dang! The nostalgia hit me like a Category 5 hurricane...made of video tapes.

reply

Ouch! The corners.

reply

Well it didn't hit that hard, lol xD

reply

Wow! I live close by so I will definitely go check her store out some time soon.

reply

Please let her know we say hello.

I'd love to hear how it goes.
