In 1986, a top-of-the-line VHS recorder cost nearly $600. Today, you can barely find a working one for under $50 at a thrift store! 📼✨

Who else remembers the "mechanical clunk" of sliding a tape in? What was the first movie you ever owned on VHS? 🍿

Best 80s feeling? 📺✨

Hearing that mechanical clunk as the rental tape slides in. No menus, no buffering—just pure movie magic. 📼

What’s the one movie you rented so many times the tape started to flicker?

1985: A massive $499.00 (about $1,400 today!). 2026: You can find them at estate sales for $20, but the memories of recording Saturday morning cartoons are priceless. 📈

Do you still have a working VCR in your setup?

The "Wishbook" was the ultimate morning dream for an 80s/90s kid. ☕️📖

I can still smell the ink on the pages of the 1986 catalog. Who else spent their Tuesday morning circling every toy they wanted with a red pen?
