$700.00. WOW. And a ONE Blank VHS tape was $20.00. I stumbled across a old advertisement in a 1980 TV guide. What a difference 24 years makes.

I believe it. It was around that time that one of my neighbors got one. They were the first people I knew that had a VCR. That thing was about the size of a small microwave oven and must have weighed about 50 pounds. They taped Popeye off the tv and we would watch that movie over and over again.

I remember VCRs of the 80's. My parents got a VCR in 1983 or 1984, and it was HUUUUUUUUUUUGE. It was a top-loading VCR like all the other VCR's back then. It also had a million buttons and dials on it. I remember trying to shove a NES cartridge into the VCR once, when I was about 3 years old. :lol: That VCR eventually died and we got another VCR that we STILL have to this day(!). We got it in 1990, and it looks like a regular VCR (but it's pretty heavy).

Also...in the early 90's, buying stuff on video was still pretty expensive...They cost anywhere from $30 to $45. :eek:

It's not so surprising. when something is new and innovative the price is going to be high. look at DVD players and other stuff now. back then it was new innovative to be able to record programs

Heck, the VCR I have that I bought new in 1999 cost me $150. Now I can buy the same model on ebay for $15.

I got one last September for $150 (I think). And then, over the holidays, someone left another DVD/VCR combo in one of the hotel rooms, and they never called or anything, so now we have two. :D

My family did, too. It was a Sony and we got it in the mid-80's, so they didn't have dials...they had buttons instead. My ex-best friend has a TV like that, I think her parents still has it...It's gotta be from the late 70's/early 80's because there was a remote that came with it and it's HUGE and extremely chunky and only had a few buttons on it. :eek:

They still had it (and it still worked) when her parents moved in 2002.

I think I'll look up some old Sears catalogs I have and check the VCR prices. The first VCR my family bought was a Lloyd's in 1985 for $300.
I do remember paying $5.00 for each blank tape back then.

I remember our first VCR, it was one of those top loader ones. The remote was HUGE and if you walked in front of it while you were fast forwarding something the tape would stop - like you broke the laser ray or something :lol:

Tapes were like $15 for a pack of 3 but they were GREAT tapes then. Anyone remember the SCOTCH brand? Those were the BEST. I'd happily pay that much for Scotch brand tapes today - I still have stuff taped on them from back then that are bettedr quality than stuff I taped last night.

Well I'm all for the saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it" That's what I've always tried to follow

I wish more people would follow that :rolleyes:

Sarah didn't have to say what she said. She could have said something nice or not say anything at all. Instead,she has to make insults of other people. That is why I rarely come on this part of these boards because of all of the fighting on here. What started out as a good topic and a very good one at that,Sarah has to come in and turn it into a free for all with her insults.

"all of my insults"? :rolleyes: wtf ever, you're exaggerating. i was JOKING and NOT BEING SERIOUS and everyone with curling irons up their asses went off at me like i tried to kill someone. i don't believe there is any rule against being silly and it's something a lot of people here do. if you were offended by it just tell me for crying out loud.

absolutely.. they think i'm starting **** when they're saying i'm an "annoying twat" and accusing me of all kinds of bullcrap that had no relation to this argument whatsoever. as if that isn't worse than anything i said. alot of people had nothing to do with anything in this fight yet they barged in and joined in on the bashing. whatever the **** i did to anyone is beyond me.

ok i have to go so if this thread gets closed while i'm gone let me say this: I WASN'T BEING SERIOUS AT ALL AND IF IT OFFENDED YOU, YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST TOLD ME OR REPORTED IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T MEAN TO INSULT ANYONE. i've posted stuff like that millions of times and this the first time anyone has ever gotten a crab up their ass over it. if you think i'm mean or an attention whore or whatever, think what you ****ing want because i guess there's no way to prove the truth. you've never met me and you have no idea what goes on through my mind or in my offline life so if you want to put words in my mouth and jump to conclusions i really don't give a ****.

They still had it (and it still worked) when her parents moved in 2002.

We had one of those! The one without the dials that is. The remote never did work.

Tapes were like $15 for a pack of 3 but they were GREAT tapes then. Anyone remember the SCOTCH brand? Those were the BEST. I'd happily pay that much for Scotch brand tapes today - I still have stuff taped on them from back then that are bettedr quality than stuff I taped last night.

Those were the best tapes ever made.

Ours did that too. And you had to press the rewind button all the time, because if you released it, it would stop rewinding.

It comes from a Miller Lite commercial. There's a debate between a Budweiser horse and some guy speaking for Miller Lite. Irritated that the moderator keeps interrupting him (his time for speaking was up) he asks her, "Why won't you let America hear the whole story? Whose pocket are you in?"

You're not the only one. I miss them too. :lol: My grandma had two of 'em -- one of them she STILL has. The TV she still has is from the 1970's (at least) and has knobs and stuff....no remote for it. It's a huuuuuuuuuuuge one too...it's basically a 70's version of a built-in home entertainment system, because it also comes with a LP player (my grandma STILL has a few 45's and 78's for it) AND a 8-track player, both built into the TV. :eek: You had to flip open the top on the TV to access the LP player and 8-track player. VERY cool. I have no idea if it still works - she hasn't plugged it in for about 10 to 15 years now. The floor TV we had lasted for about 9 years.

The TV I have for my bedroom now, I've had it since April 1997 and it's still going. :D My parents got a Zenith TV 15 years ago and it's STILL going strong, altho you can tell it wants to die now. :lol: We lost the remote for it AGES ago. It's been very good to us for the last 15 years. :D

Okay, I just read this entire thread, and the verdict is in. This was a nice thread until Sarah popped in and insulted everyone. We all know these boards well enough to know that people are going to respond to that.

With that said, Sarah did explain that she was only kidding, and others should have accepted that. People need to let a few remarks here and there roll off their backs. It's not as if she went on a full blown rampage against everyone. She made a remark that meant no harm and that she obviously regretted.

Things did get out of hand, and it could have been prevented if people would put others on their ignore list or don't go into full throttle attack mode over a silly remark.

First of all if you can't stand me PUT ME ON YOUR IGNORE LIST. You always whine about how miserable i am when you can simply ignore it. "Can you make sure this miserable individual stop doing things like this? Didn't you read janice's post? She said that most of this wasn't my fault, which is true because everyone went drama queen on me for making a silly comment.

And for the love of god stop talking **** about me and how miserable i am. You have no idea what i'm going through so shut up. You're gonna treat me like a weirdo as long as i am one? That is incredibly low. So because i'm not just like you, you're gonna treat me differently? Grow up. Maybe i should treat you like a douche bag as long as you are one.
