Bought a $50 'lost footage' VHS box at a Toledo flea market and 3 of the tapes were just taped-over golf
Saw a guy at a flea market in Toledo selling a box labeled 'unreleased news bloopers 1988 to 1994' for 50 bucks, and I handed it over without even opening it. Got home, popped the first tape in, and it was 2 hours of a golf tournament with one part where a boom mic drops into frame. Tape two was a weather guy saying 'titty' instead of 'city' and then 90 minutes of static. Only one tape had real blooper gold, a news anchor in 1991 who said 'we'll be right back after this word from our spon-sore' three times in a row. So did I get got, or is 50 bucks fair for one good tape and a funny weather clip?

Wait, you're really asking if you got got over fifty bucks? That's like two pizzas and a movie ticket, not a mortgage payment. Sure, three of the tapes were junk, but you got a boom mic dropping into a golf game and a weather guy dropping a word he definitely didn't mean to say, plus a 1991 anchor fumbling "spon-sore" three times. That's a solid night of laughing with friends right there, and people pay way more than fifty for a comedy special that isn't half as funny. The real question is why you handed over cash without popping the lid first, but hey, that's the flea market gamble. Seems like you came out fine, unless you were hoping to flip that box for hundreds, which was never gonna happen anyway.
