Hrist posted:Remember the old commercials for ITT Tech or whatever where they offered a degree in VCR repair? Haha, good luck in the job market now, idiots. Now that you won't be able to buy a new VCR, in about 4-5 years the VCR repair market will get big because of people who still have large VHS collections that they want to hold onto or what not will probably pay someone to fix and maintain their old 90s, Japanese-made SVHS decks or something.

Autumn Angel posted:Huh, I wouldn't have expected the demand to still be so high in 2015. While it exists now, I'm sort of wondering if an even more ultrahipster market of people who horde and collect old VHS recordings of everything from local TV broadcasts to home movies will become a bigger thing. There will be a special rarity to these literal never-to-be-seen-again contents that they won't even make copies of them so as to not dilute their value. Like someone will have a complete and unedited rough cut VHS copy* of The Day The Clown Died that only they and they alone can possess. They will unsheathe it now and then for private viewings with close, like-minded collectors, until the day someone who desires it more bashes them over the head with vase to claim it as their own. (*Possible that it could exist? Jerry Lewis apparently used some video assist method for recording to video at the same time as filming traditionally with one of his movies. The idea of there being a box of VHS tapes of every stage of the filming might be possible with that film as well if they weren't taped over with soap operas.)
