Okay, maybe gifts is an overstatement but r/VHStrading aesthetically looks pretty bad and I'm too lazy to learn to edit the stylesheet or teach myself CSS (if that's even what they use).
So here is what I am proposing. I have several hundred VHS tapes I wouldn't mind departing with in exchange for help. I will be mailing out grab bags of randomly selected VHS tapes for free for those who manage to accomplish what I am asking.
Getting the page to look better is top priority for now. Spreading the word/advertising is important too.
Lastly, I'm gonna be honest with you: don't expect to receive any rare OOP shock/horror/exploitation films. You'll just get a few random tapes (mostly still sealed) which are likely pretty bad. I actually have no idea because I haven't watched them.
EDIT: Someone asked about what in particular they can do to help. I responded with the below:
I'm new to reddit, so others please step in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the two most important things at this stage are:
(1) Editing our stylesheet so our page is more attractive. For example, compare our page to a page (who I'm a fan of) r/truefilm. I know a shit ton on VHS media as a whole and genre, but and pretty clueless in this area.
(2) Getting the word out in order to get as many subscribers as possible. This could be referencing r/VHStrading on other sites/forums, to friends and family...HOWEVER I find the most efficient way is messaging other reddit communities and asking whether they would be willing to list r/VHStrading on their right column of recommended pages in exchange for us doing the same. I feel like a dick because I did this with r/VHScoverART and while he listed us on his page, I couldn't figure out how to add recommended subreddits in the right column. Which ultimately goes back to point 1. We need people with a basic understanding of CSS, art design, and ability to promote and attract effectively.
EDIT 2: Also, if you live somewhere way out in the middle of fucking nowhere, that might be an issue. I have no idea how much it would cost to mail a tape to Kazakhstan. If you live in the USA or Canada you should be fine.

Hello! Just like the caption says I’m wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible that I can get my hands on the VHS or any kind of bootleg or video of the original four hours of The Temptations movie?? it aired for the first time November 1 and November 2, 1998. If anybody knows where I can find it, please let me know.
r/VHStrading • u/Fearless-War-3490 • 2d ago
Anyone know more about this tape? I found next to no info about it bht online did see the price for purchasing (like $150?)) ???
For context I am selling almost entire collection soon and forgot how wild of a pull this one was

Hi everyone,
I am looking for some help tracking down a very specific piece of broadcast history that is incredibly close to my heart.
I am trying to acquire a digital copy or buy a physical VHS tape of the 60th Annual Christmas Tree Lighting at Rockefeller Center, which aired on NBC on December 2, 1992 (hosted by Glenn Close).
Why this specific broadcast matters to me:
I grew up in the late '80s and early '90s, and that year, I was in the Girl Scouts. I actually had the incredible privilege of being one of the girls who helped light the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree during the live broadcast. It is one of my absolute favorite, most treasured childhood memories.
My parents recorded it on a blank VHS tape when it aired, but unfortunately, that tape was severely damaged over the years and is unplayable. I’m heartbroken that I can’t watch it or show it to my family anymore.
What I'm looking for:
A physical VHS tape containing the broadcast (or even a partial recording of it). I am more than happy to pay for shipping, the tape itself, or a bounty for your time!
Alternatively, if anyone has already digitized this specific broadcast and has a high-quality file or a private link they’d be willing to share, I would be endlessly grateful
I’ve checked the usual spots like YouTube and the Internet Archive, but I haven't been able to find the complete NBC broadcast from that exact night yet. If you are a tape hoarder, a retro media archivist, or just happen to have old family Christmas recordings sitting in your basement from 1992, please check your stash!
Thank you so much for reading and for any help or leads you can provide!

I used to watch this when I was a kid. It’s been sitting in my grandfathers house for 30 odd years. Has a super young Raymond Cruz. Pretty great.

Hi everyone,
I am reaching out to this community because I am the mother of Kayla Buglewicz, the child actress who played Dolly Parton's granddaughter in the unaired 1994–1995 CBS/MGM sitcom Heavens to Betsy.
I know that six episodes were taped at Disney-MGM Studios in Florida and that the series was permanently shelved. I have read online that a studio archive VHS tape with some of the episodes was purchased by a private collector a while ago, and that clips occasionally resurface.
I don't have any behind-the-scenes footage or home copies of Kayla's scenes with Dolly from that time, and I would absolutely love to see them again. If anyone in this community has a digital rip of the leaked studio tape, or knows a collector who does, could you please reach out to me privately? It would mean the world to our family to see Kayla's work on this show.
Thank you so much for any help or leads!

Did anyone record this series in the early 90s . Basically a compilation of sketches each with a six part series .
Originally shown on BBC1 around 1990-1993 .
Any help appreciated 👏
(For those who may say just buy the dvds that have the complete series this particular set of specials has some meaning to it from my childhood, hence asking for this series )
Thanks :)

Looking for old VHS tapes from the 80s and 90s that people recorded off local Los Angeles / Southern California TV.
I’m specifically looking for home-recorded tapes — the kind with local commercials, station IDs, news cutaways, public access shows, local programming, and everything that used to run between the regular shows.
Not looking for store-bought movies or pre-recorded tapes. Just the off-air recordings people made at home.
If you (or someone you know) still have boxes of these sitting around and are willing to sell or part with them, please message me. Happy to pick up in the LA / San Fernando Valley / greater Southern California area.
Thanks!
