Well I've bought very few VHS tapes in my lifetime. But I've
bought several in the last couple of years - and none were
as cheap as 50 cents.
These were films that never made it to DVD - and perhaps never will
- are never shown on cable - so the only way to get them for the
moment is to search for used VHS tapes to tranfer them to DVD>

Cheap is good. I picked up a single DVD, a set of two DVDs
and a set of 4 DVDs - for a total of $10.67 - on a closeout rack.
These were el-cheapos to begin with but one was only 50 cents.
Nude - er new in the box.
