Ouch is right! Back then I was young(er), carefree and didn't have many
debts. I just wanted it. Now! How do you think I felt when about 6
months later it was showing up for $25.00? That was the "average" price
for a new VHS tape then. It was the first and only time I've ever spent
that much for a tape. I'd never do it again.
