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.

BETAMAX VIDEOS AND HARDWARES:
BLANK BETA TAPES
Many of you have been asking about the
"Off-Air" Blank Beta Tapes. That list is finally up. There
are Over 300 tapes on
that list. Most contain recorded TV shows and movies.
Due to legal issues, I can only sell them as blank tapes so that is why
the
"program material" section is blank.

1986
Judge Reinhold
Meg
Tilly
Joe Gower (Reinhold) works in the library (on roller
skates!?)
Adding complication to his otherwise bookish life, Gower agrees to pose as a police officer and participate in a charity dance. He falls for a female officer in the show and gets into
various scrapes with fellow cops and also crooks.

OXFORD
BLUES
1984
Rob Lowe
Alley
Sheedy
Amanda Pays
Lowe is the fish-out-of-water at Oxford where he
gets
the hots for royalty (Amanda Pays) and ends up with Alley Sheedy. Hey,
unfair!

PARTY
ANIMAL
1983
More "Animal House" hyjinks on campus. A pizza
and beer
movie.

PROTOCAL
1984
Goldie Hawn
Chris Sarandon
Goldie Hawn really can act and she is very good
at
playing
a ditz, even a fairly smart ditz. Small town transplant ends up the
toast
of the diplomatic corps and becomes a pawn in a sneaky political ploy.
Yes, it's a comedy. Better than it sounds. I also recommend seeing
Hawn's recent film titled "The Banger Sisters."

RECKLESS
1984
Aidan Quinn
Darryl Hannah
Aidan Quinn plays the troubled James Dean part
and he's
not bad. Trapped in a dirty ugly steel town, he only wants out. He
finds
his love interest in an equally moody Darryl Hannah.

RED
BLOODED AMERICAN GIRL
1990
Andrew Stevens
Heather Thomas
What a terrific movie this would have been had it
a
better
budget and a better script. As it is, the idea's not bad. This biotech
company is doing
some
very illegal experiments on human subjects and genius Andrew Stevens is
brought in to bail them out of trouble. It seems this serum they
came
up with turns people into vampires but their blood lust only makes them
consume themselves. Heather Thomas shows her body off very well as one
of the victims that Stevens is trying to save.

Another play that became a feature film -- and a

SO

Will anyone ever remember this gem from 1981? If

smile
on your face.

Lea Thompson
Better-than-average teen angst movie about a boy

a rich girl (Thompson) not noticing his closest female friend
(Masterson) has an awful crush
on
him already.
