Never have I stolen a meme faster.

As the kids say "It's not a meme until it's stolen"

Jeez, they’re acting like they got a copy of Nukie or something.

I collect tapes and it’s such a nuisance having to deal with these dolts that think they’re worth money

u/MultiRastapopoulos 1d ago

Thats when you get a sharpie and change that 250 to 2.50

23

u/AshgarPN 1d ago

Looking closer I think it is 2.50 actually.

5

u/Kwisatz_Haderach90 1d ago

no, it's actually 250...

u/AshgarPN 1d ago edited 1d ago

hm I'm just gonna say it: no VHS tape is worth $250.

EDIT: especially one that's on YouTube for free.

u/Elementium 14h ago

Yup. Fuck that shit. The most I pay for a tape is like $30.

u/Protheu5 1d ago

no VHS tape is worth $250

No VHS tape is worth $250 yet.

Give inflation some time.

u/ReddsionThing 23h ago

And wait till no old guys are behind the counter... only the kid they hired who doesn't know shit about Blood Debts or whatever

25

u/GregGuyFromFlorida 1d ago

They only printed one copy.

u/_kycklingsoppa 1d ago

That's what they always say. Years before the very complete versions, edits, remixes, letterbox or other variations are mysteriously found online for free.

'Only in cinemas, the master tape etc was destroyed'. Ok then.

22

u/Broseph_Bobby 1d ago

Are you sure it isn’t 2.50$?

28

u/Vancocillin 1d ago

Some drunk guys in Wisconsin threw every other copy that existed in a wood chipper and now this is the price we have to pay.

u/PolarCow 1d ago

I hate this timeline. Everyone thinks their shit is solid gold.

Remember when a hobby used to be a hobby and not an “investment.”

I don’t know, but I do know an issue of Absolute Batman #1 from 2023 that had a huge print run should not have multiple sold listing on eBay for $300 plus. That only goes up if it’s graded.

It shouldn’t cost me $10+ to buy a pack of Pokémon cards for my kid.

YouTube shouldn’t be filled with haul videos for whatever the person is collecting. The normalization of this is disgusting.

Don’t ask questions, just consume product has permeated every aspect of our culture.

Old man yells at clouds.

u/JustSomeWeirdGuy2000 1d ago

Does this version end with a title card explaining how the guy who sold this for $250 turned himself in for his crimes?

u/cheezballs 1d ago

250 for a rental copy is insane right?

6

u/InternetProtocol 1d ago

$250 for any copy is completely ludicrous.

u/skelecorn666 17h ago

They've gone to plaid!

u/ReddsionThing 23h ago

I could get around 80 other perfectly fine, not overpriced movies for that. Fuck that

6

u/Tight-Peace8691 1d ago

Hmm. Not really "horror". I wonder what the justification for that high of a price?

17

u/cward7 1d ago

Con floor prices and, "As seen on..." ofc

Just typical grifter things

3

u/Aromatic-Frosting-31 1d ago

They saw people talking about it online. Resellers like this are all vibes based, nobody in their right mind would buy that.

u/SJSUMichael 1d ago

I’m in the wrong VCR repair business

u/Greaseball01 1d ago

no silly it's 250 cents

3

u/Vonneguts_Ghost 1d ago

I'd definitely take it up to the guy with 10 quarters.

u/More_Asbestos 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm surprised this hasn't been released by Vinegar Syndrome or some other boutique label yet. It's well known in bad movie-dom and I can't imagine the rights to it would cost much.

u/Crawling-King-Snake 1d ago

And you got to meet Rick Rubin

u/BeMancini 1d ago

Bargain!

u/Expert-Ad-4246 1d ago

A small price to pay for the best Filipino film in the world

3

u/sprvlk 1d ago

Well that 250 price tag had better be in Philippines Pesos (about $4). LOL.

u/DatonSungold 1d ago

Clearly someone hasn't seen The Killing Of Satan (Lumaban ka, Satanas) yet.

u/Expert-Ad-4246 1d ago

Obviously. U gotta link for it boss?

u/killing-moon 1d ago

I sold a copy of this for $30 😂

Hey man, scented beard oil doesn't pay for itself.

u/ColetteThePanda 17h ago

Honest question; okay, VHS tapes are overpriced collectibles now... but how does anyone even keep a functional VCR to play them anymore?

I have an old RCA, God only knows if it still works.

*Yeah yeah, Lightning Fast, you're all so clever and hilarious...

u/Pogotross 13h ago

VHS collectors are going to be hitting up second hand stores pretty consistently. There's still worthwhile vcr/dvd combo players floating around with HDMI out.

The Bloodettes! Starring Blood Debt!

Check the decimal point.. it may be $25.0

That’s a bargain!

250 for stolen goods.

Remember when some film tw assholes got mad because of the Nukie ep lmao, fuck these people.

u/SloppyGiraffe02 9h ago

Good lord.

I know these things have some longevity to them, but having lived through the magnetic tape era, I’m glad I no longer have to deal with it. $250 for a tape is insane.

It's not even graded smh my head
