Does anybody like to buy anime on VHS, or own any collections from back in the day?
Not going to try and make any hipster argument about VHS being superior to DVD or anything like that. Just think it's neat. It's a good format for enjoying official releases of 90s anime on. The thickness of the boxes also adds to the shelf art charm when you have a complete set. The early history of the anime home video industry is also pretty interesting to me.
I only have Magic Knight Rayearth (complete), some Sailor Moon and some Dragon Ball, I'd like to find some series from the 90s that had small enough runs to get a complete set relatively easy.
I'd rather digitalize it, and make several backups of it.

But you can't flip a digital collection for more than you paid when you bought it.
Yes, I have several anime tapes. I have a bunch of DBZ tapes, Pokemon tapes, a few The Slayers tapes and Yu-Gi-Oh tapes, and some movies. I don't look for tapes, but if they appear in second hand stores I will buy them
Speaking of old anime-related stuff, what exactly was this: https://archives.4-ch.net/politics/kareha.pl/1111851720/2 ? Anyone remember http://raspberryheaven.net:53284/ ?
