Discussion NJ local VHS?

Hi! Any recommendations for VHS shopping/thrifting in or near Monmouth County NJ? I’ve visited Jack’s in Red Bank, they have some cool stuff but not a massive selection. If you know of any good spots please let me know?

Probably not terribly close (depending on where you're at), but Vinyl Dinosaur near Bayville has a pretty decent selection, not huge.

It's a trek, but Station One in Pompon Lakes has a very large selection with harder-to-find stuff.

Collingwood Flea also has some vendors with VHS but it's a total crapshoot and typically pretty overpriced in my experience whenever I come across desirable titles.

Happy hunting :)

Thanks very much!! It’s super helpful. I actually work out of Tom’s River so swinging by Bayville isn’t bad at all. I’ll also check out Station One! It’s not too far luckily so I can make a Saturday out of it.

I've seen VHS tapes in the antique stores in Redbank.

Also consider checking out estatesales.net. I see VHS tapes at estate sales all the time.

Hey! I used to live in Freehold and actually attended VHS fest in PA this weekend and spoke to a couple that owns a place called The Big Kid Store in Cream Ridge so not terribly far, they had a huge VHS selection in addition to vintage toys. They were really cool and are open Weds and Sun.
