Bet you could buy 300 "blank" members of Congress for half that with a sticky metro card thrown in to sweeten the deal. But your purchase would be far, far, far more worthy. Now up sell them to those "data centers".

Update: Just sold all 5 big cases (50 tapes per case) for ~$425 after shipping. I might have been able to make more selling them over time; shipping the big cases is a little more inefficient than smaller boxes it seems. But still, a $400 profit.

And I went half and half on the shipping with the buyer. Costs about $45 per case to ship via USPS. Other services were more expensive. The cases are just an unfortunate combination of bulky (22"x12"x9") and heavy (~30lb ea).

What? No Betamax?

I heard the Springfield men's shelter is giving away 60 soiled mattresses. Better get over there!
mull
And if mattresses didn't weigh a metric ton.
mull
If I could sell soiled mattresses for $5/EA I might do that.

These are also security grade, so higher grade than your regular home cassettes.

Do you feel more secure now?

Oh hell yeah! That'll be worth $10 in no time!

Just sold most of them (250 tapes) for $425 after shipping to one buyer. I went half and half on shipping with the buyer. Total shipping was about $225.

Look at eBay. People are buying blank VHS tapes for $3-8/ea.
Rabeandre
Are people buying, or are sellers hoping to get that amount? I collect 2€ coins, seen some ridiculous prices (50.000€ for a circulated misprint, etc), but those stay up for months

I count at least 18 sales in the past 24 hours if I filter by sold listings.

Some questions are better left unasked.

Yeah. I'd prefer ones that had been used by someone. Could be some vintage content on those.

Hell if I know. But if you filter by sold listings on eBay, I count at least 20 sales of new sealed blank VHS tapes in the last 24 hours.

Do I really have to say it out loud? Child porn by mail.

Most likely it is best that we do not know or need to know. Iam sure that there is number on "good" reasons to do this but ol' internet has had it's wicked ways with me way too often for me have pure thoughts
madjo
7 days.... Dude is going to spread the VHS with the well of The Ring to hundreds of potential victims.
Kuusiokoloavain
I was thinking of different "ring" but spreading is there allright ^^
