BETAMAX VIDEO TAPES FOR SALE
The
BETA format is (well.... was) the best video tape format ever to
be
marketed.
Sony ceased manufacturing consumer BETA recorder-players for the
American market in 1993
and completely ceased production of Betamax
machines in 2002.
My ancient 15 year old Sony SLHF-900
finally
crapped out in early 2000
which
is really messed up because I liked my Betamax!
Reluctantly, I've decided to say bon
voyage
to my Beta collection.
So, if you are a Beta-phile and are looking for pre-recorded video tapes (amongst
other things)
in this format -- READ ON!
|
2012!
The βeta format is still alive -- on the net!
$1.00
per tape!
Since I first put up this site, I have sold
more than 2/3 of my Betamax
tape collection. Beta is indeed live and well on the internet.
About once a year, between January and March, I update this site by
removing the Sold
items making space for other sale items and images.
I will sell all these betamax videos
individually -- in groups of two or
more -- or the entire collection!
They're going fast!
As of this update -- January 2012 --
that's less than 60
commercial tapes! Yes, they are going fast!
Just
click "e-mail me" if you
want to buy any or all of the remaining Beta library as is.
I'm also selling my "off-air" Beta tapes. Yes, there are recorded TV
shows
on them, but I cannot sell them as anything except "Blank Tape." Click
the link: "Blank Beta Tapes"
Also:
Other Beta items I come across are for sale under "Beta Sloppy Seconds."
Scroll down to click any of those links.
Buyer
will assume shipping and handling costs.
I accept:
Personal Bank Checks -- domestic U.S. buyers only
Money
orders -- including Western Union Money Orders
or
Cash
-- U.S. dollars only.
(All
international transactions are to
be done in U.S. dollars only)
Sorry,
NO credit cards and NO PayPal.
Depending on the number of tapes you order, and the
combined
weight,
shipping is actually cheaper if you buy in bulk.
Below are links to 9 pages of Beta format video tapes.
These are all commercially released features,
Made-for-TV movies, Music Videos, Cartoons, Comedy, Special Interest,
Documentaries, and (of course) Kung Fu movies.
Titles are in alphabetical order and include reviews (or references)
and a
small picture of the actual box.
I recommend to viewers and potential buyers to also reference the
Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) for alternate reviews of these
features.
My reviews are highly biased and subjective. I could be wrong.
Several of these videos no longer reside in their
original boxes. Where noted they are protected by sturdy
translucent white or solid brown clamshell cases.

CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR
1986
Daryl Hannah
Hannah plays a cave girl who gets treated
differently
by the tribe because of her blonde hair and her non-neanderthal looks.
Yes,
it does sound a little like "One Million Years BC." This
cave-movie, based on the book by Jean Arel, is played for a
more
"realistic" "Quest for Fire" sense.

CROCODILE DUNDEE
1986
Paul Hogan
Linda Kozlowski
Paul Hogan went from "shrimp on the barbee"
salesman for the Australian tourist bureau to
world superstar with this movie about a cocky outback Aussie man who
comes
to New York
and discovers a whole different kind of outback.

the
hopeless alcoholic, Douglas is just looking to quietly retire, and Brit

Comedy Western with more talk than gunplay.

EARTH GIRLS ARE EASY
1989
Geena Davis
Julie Brown
Jeff Goldblum
Jim
Carrey

EDUCATING RITA
1983
Michael Caine
Julie Walters
Two academy award winners in one film. Walters
plays
the working class hairdresser who strives to be more. Caine plays the
cynical professor who has lost his way. Excellent movie.

EVERYTHING
YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX
1972
Woody Allen
Some people consider this sex farce Woody Allen's peak,
career-wise. It
is funny, but Allen has done better work. "Bananas" and "Sleeper" come
to mind -- and my favorite guilty pleasure, "What's up, Tiger Lily?"
|
EXPERIENCE
PREFERRED BUT NOT ESSENTIAL
1983
Elizabeth Edmunds
Understated Brit comedy -- and a subtle
statement about class in merry olde England -- "Experience
Preferred" is a delightful story of a young schoolgirl who takes a
summer job
at a seaside resort hotel.
