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.

1985
Sarah
Jessica Parker
Long before she starred and co-produced HBO's "Sex
and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker debuted in a little TV
series
called "Square Pegs" and then
played
the lead in this early 80s feature about
a catholic school girl who just wants to dance her ass off.

HIDING

1987
Jon Cryer
The usually underrated Cryer plays a stock broker
--
at least I think it was a stock broker -- who gets caught up with some
bad guys and hides out back in high school

HOT

1983
David
Naughton
Shannon Tweed
They made a lot of ski movie comedies but this
one
ranks
near the top. Naughton and his crew of party hearty rat packers take in
a new guy for
the ski competition. My top pick, if you must know, is Ski School
starring Dean (the mighty cheese) Cameron.

Charles Grodin
Rock-faced Chuck Grodin finds his sensibilities
ruined
at a hot resort. This guy wouldn't be happy anywhere except on a toilet.

JOHN SILVER
1953
Robert Newton
A classic. No one -- absolutely no one - can ever
play a pirate
better than
Robert Newton -- although I have to admit,
Johnny Depp and Jeffrey Rush were great in
"Pirates of the Caribbean."

LUCKY
TEXAN
1934

Very early John Wayne western. Old Duke made a
pile of these western serials before he gained stardom in the classic,
"Stagecoach." |

MY

Yoko Shimada
Chris Mitchum
Unusual film that focuses on a Japanese

as a woman who finds her individualism and strength in running

NOBODY'S
FOOL
1985
Rosanna Arquette
Eric Roberts
It is a shame this film never found
its audience.
Don't confuse this film with the Paul
Newman movie of
the same title. This is
one of those gems that makes you come back again and again.
Rosanna Arquette plays comely
confused Cassie Stoolie, a small town girl who
hooks up
with a traveling
L.A.
summer theater
troop and falls for stage technician Eric Roberts. Shot entirely in and
around
Prescott, Arizona, "Nobody's Fool" is a minor classic that deserved a
better release than it ever got, if it ever got one. Arquette gives an
outstanding performance and she and the
supporting cast is a joy to watch.
