Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
it's surprising to me that the history of vhs printings isn't better documented. like, what do you mean this might be from the first print of Halloween? 🤨 it doesn't say AND nobody bothered to keep track?

I'd have assumed there was an entire community of nerds dedicated specifically to such a task
one that's been around since like 1996 and has been manually maintained by one of those aged computer hippies who's like "when I was in school lasers were still theoretical, man."

In college we had a several hundred vhs collection. It was fun to come home from the bars, light a hookah, open a few more beers and watch Buckaroo Bonazi or Leonard Pt 6.

I was in college when DVDs were taking off but VHS hadn't completely gone away. On Friday night I would get the paycheck from my student work job, pay my bills, and have maybe $20 left over. I'd walk over to the Virgin Megastore and grab one or two tapes out of the $5 clearance bin that held all their remaining VHS inventory. I'd then have my entertainment for the weekend. I considered myself especially media-savvy because I was building a collection instead of just renting stuff.

$35k. Didn't expect that.

I thought they were going to destroy the tape at the end, to be honest. Especially with all the stuff about how stupid speculation is.

That destruction footage at the end was spectacular. I love how Mike's eyes light up with joy when that first tape goes in.

Having no idea how eBay works, can the highest bidder for Nukie simply back out? Not guaranteed in any way?

Sort of. Ebay can't force anyone to pay. The seller could potentially hire a lawyer to go after the winning bidder(s) if they don't pay. If the top bidder backs out, the next guy in line is up to bat but yeah. None of this stuff happens.

I can imagine Justin Roiland wanting to win the auction, and Dan Harmon secretly bidding against him just to keep him from winning.

I don't even think they were expecting that, I know I was just expecting chips of plastic and tape. I wish they got some high speed footage of that, looked like tape guts and intestines splattering all over the wall, sick as hell.

Do that with a tape where you already prepared it in advance and colored it red, and you have yourself a rad and easy-made practical effect, yeah.

The spool is super light though, putting color on it would make it 3-4 times heavier.

I'm sure the offer to sign it from the RLM crew is adding something to peoples desire to own this but drat some people have too much money.

I'm viewing it more as people seeing an opportunity to do some good and get something funny out of it than people blowing massive amounts of cash exclusively on an obscure internet shitpost

Yeah once it goes over a certain number it's going to be one of those joke auctions. But OTOH it will do free advertisement on Muskter for RLM and sucker in some zoomers who haven't heard of VHS tapes. I just hope they don't come here because I don't want to talk to kids.

And then Mike has to put it on some serious auctions like Christies where rich Boomers who just lost their bids on the next Banksy will have to settle for a mint condition Nukie.
