I didn't go looking for this, but it has fallen into my lap.
At one Thrift Store, I found a normal-looking DVD in a thing, paper sleeve.
Seems normal enough.
Seems normal enough.
The idea was that Stores and other Vendors would get them and decide to order copies.
How a bunch of these- I only bought one, but there must have been 6 or 7- ended up where I found them is anyone's guess.
...this is why.
But wait- there's more!
At the same Store (just earlier), I found a normal enough-looking VHS for the '80s Classic Road House.
Why would I buy it?
This was apparently sent to Video Stores (RIP) back in 1989 to promote the sale/rental of the Film.
It has a little bit at the beginning suggesting ideas for 'Road House Parties' that Stores could run to promote the new Release.
I don't see this on Amazon, so it could be worth anywhere between $2 and $2,000.
My newest entry comes from a different Store- lest you think said unnamed Thrift Store is a 'gold mine.'
It is a Screening Cassette for Poltergeist: The Legacy, a barely-remembered TV Show on Showtime.
This worked basically like the previous ones mentioned. It is notable for being a VHS release, despite it being from 1997.
Yes, they were still making them into around 2004, but still. This is how you want to promote sales of the Show?
As a bonus, I bought Poltergeist: The Legacy's 1st Season- on DVD- from a different Store on the same day.
I guess that Tape worked!
Do you have any of these? Let me know!
