For the longest time the VHS cool-kid status symbol tape was Street Trash. That pushed it's price above $200, which is crazy. I kept an eye out for years and was able to score a Japanese copy ex-rental for $50.
Now the cool kid tape has clearly changed. Everyone is showing off their copy of Video Dead and the price is skyrocketing and is already $150+.
I was able to find this beat up copy for $60 and immediately snapped it up.
I've been looking for this one more actively for like 3 years after seeing the movie on a stream and thinking it was really awesome. Really glad patience paid off here!
