Help make r/VHStrading a better place and I will mail you free shit!
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.

VHS Grading
VHS grading
So, probably not the best place but anyway... aside from the fact that it's worthless, makes no sense, and is hated-especially by the VHS community-it's a Memory, for me.
And I'd like to have it in a nice slab.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Apparently, several companies would offer grading if im not wrong?
I would appreciate any help!

Anything here worth anything?
I don't know anything about VHS. I had this collection for a while, but im not really interested in keeping it.
If there is something of value here, what could it be?
If not, do schools still take these?
Thanks in advance :]

Rare Factory Sealed Thief VHS — James Caan / Michael Mann MGM/UA
Hey everyone, I’m selling a factory-sealed VHS copy of Thief starring James Caan and directed by Michael Mann.
This is the MGM/UA Home Video release of the 1981 crime thriller/cult classic. The tape is still sealed in shrink wrap, though the wrap does show some small openings/holes, light creasing, and normal age-related shelf wear from storage. The VHS itself has not been opened.
I have it listed on eBay here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/168526298079
Open to reasonable offers. Feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks!

How do I fix a tape that plays like this?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I finally found one of my favourite movies on VHS, which wasn’t easy as I live in the UK this movie isn’t too well known here, luckily someone on eBay UK happen to have a copy which I bought instantly, I’ve had it for about a year as I wasn’t able to get a player until yesterday, I know it’s not a player as all my other tapes play fine, it’s just unfortunate that the tape I want to watch most is the one I can’t get to work… the Selena movie is from 1997, but my making of filler tape is from 1982 and that plays really nicely

Is this worth anything?
I also have what could be a complete collection of Shirley Temple movies.
