What have you been on the hunt for? I have been searching the local thrift stores and antiques&collectibles stores for two hard to find DVDs: Rich Kids (1979) and True Love (1989). No luck yet, but I did find out there is a new antiques/collectibles mall not far from us. Fingers crossed.

Thrift stores are few and far between in my area so ebay is the best choice for me.

They have Rich Kids for $15.

Oh wow, thanks! I think I like the thrill of the hunt the most. I remember a few years back, and I think I posted something here at the Rewind about it: a video store must have closed up and donated all of their vhs and some DVDs to our local Salvation Army store. I didn’t know Vhs or dvds were rare. I think I asked here and went back and looked, but I didn’t score anything rare.

I know what you mean, there is a thrill and satisfaction when you make an effort to find something, just buying it online is lazy 😀

There are many hard to find VHS. Demand is a big factor in value and timing. Im just like you Pittsburghgirl. I love the hunt. Its getting harder and harder to find rare ones as i think the majority of people have already donated or trashed their vhs collection. The hayday was 15-20 years ago when rental stores were closing and many hard to find videos were up for grabs for less than b$5. It was magnificent!! Keep trying though. I know I will.

Dang, no I haven’t checked. I should see if I own one. I have two plastic tote containers full of vhs. I did find a few rare ones in a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in my hometown a few years ago . One is still in the wrapper. Sometimes that place can be a gold mine.

Mmmmm. Sounds delectable Pittsburghgirl. Do you ever do any estate saleing. Not necessarily for vhs but just for anything that might interest you
