If the top gun tape is the Pepsi promo it’s apparently worth $17500. If it’s not, it’s worth about $15.
Found these in a cabinet at work. Boss told me to make them disappear.

I’ll have to look at that. What makes the Pepsi promo worth that? Rarity? How can you tell if its that one? I just collect the tapes and watch them I don’t do much research.

Honestly I just searched “top gun vhs tape worth”. I know absolutely nothing about vhs collecting.
Looks like the Pepsi promo one will be obvious. It’ll have a promo cover. I doubt you have it (sorry).

If I understand right, that was the first ad subsidizing the cost of a vhs movie. “trouble with your refreshment system”

I have that tape. It can’t be worth more than $7.

Wait, we posting VHS pics now? Is my hoarding about to pay off in sweet, sweet internet points?
…no, because that would require me digging things out. >_>

Make what disappear?

Did you guys never get plastic cases for your VHS tapes? Were they always cardboard sleeves?
Here in the UK, they were always in plastic cases.
tomenzgg@midwest.social 11 months ago
It varied, really. A lot of our Disney films were in the plastic cases (probably other ones, as well; just don’t remember anymore, at this point) and others had the cardboard sleeves.
I don’t remember it leaning one way or the other, particularly.

Kids films came in plastic cases for some reason. cardboard sleeves were the most common for major film releases. Come to think of it, my bob the builder tapes came in plastic cases and that show is from the UK so that checks out.

Enemy at the gates is so good. And I don’t like war movies usually.

Why were they at the office?
Atomicbunnies@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
No idea. A lot of them were aviation related. I work as a mechanic. I’m guessing they were left over from back in the day.
KalSeth@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I am guessing most of them are taped over with porn. or your boss is overly dramatic.

Prob Total Recall!

They were thinking of making a Minority Report adaptation (with Arnold, not Cruise) as the sequel to Total Recall, with the mutant Martians as the precogs. Could have been a fun one!
