Thrift shops here can't keep em. They sell really well at $1 each here. I buy as many as I can and others buy Alot too as when I return, there's others gone but more always comes in. I love beta but considering how I've only found two in the wild and one was a workout video, beta is more something I have to order when I want them.

Beta is probably much more common than RCA CED videodiscs. Maybe once in thirty years I've ever seen any at a garage sale or flea market.

I've found 3 lots of CED here in the last 3 years and I bought the biggest one. I have close to 100 of theM with a working machine. Since the, there has been a few at one thrift shop where I bought a couple and several more turned up at the Starvation Army. I wasn't interested in any of them. Still, pretty rare in any case.

About twice have I seen CEDs in those type of venues in the last 5 years, but I see them a LOT at the thrift stores...Probably north of 20 times in the last 5 years.

I've gotten around 10 Beta tapes from thrifts in the last few years, and about as many beta decks. Fairly common out here, but it is always a slow trickle of tapes maybe one or two at a time (about half the time inside a deck I bought), lots are hard to come upon except a crate of rentals at a ham fest, and a BUNCH of shrink wrapped blanks, and recorded tapes with a betacam (t'was a granny's rig and the crappy cameraman-ship was comical).

The last tape I got was the movie "Where the buffalo roam" (1980)!!

I love the music in it!!!! (Purple haze,etc) -- I have a pure 1984 release (Later releases had the music changed)


ANOTHER GOOD MOVIE RUINED BY THE GREED THAT STARTED IN THE 80s!

Cool, what kind of shop offers senior discounts? I usually go to flea markets, Goodwill, Starvation Army, and this one major thrift store we have here.

Only on Wednesday! St. Vincent and Goodwill, 20%. Bethesda Lutheran 25%.
There's a Club Goodwill card, that you use. After you spend a certain amount, they Credit your purchase with $5.00 off.
Bought a video tape, Tora, Tora, Tora. The crew on the Japanese aircraft carrier is listening to a Hawiian station on a Zenith "Walton's" tombstone. They were smacking it, to get better reception.
Leave it to Hollywood.

I picked up 44 VHS tapes of the Twilight Zone. I think it's a complete set, but I'll have to look them over more carefully to be sure...

The complete original series of Star Trek from Craigslist. I kind of like the old special effects better than the remastered version. So many of the new CGI effects on this series looks plasticy for lack of a better way to put it.
