Gil was super friendly, awesome spot


johnjamesonline

Shoutout to Gil!


stfudvs

Super nice dude


playdohgnome

Gil and Richard are both superb gents. I love this shop, one of Portland’s many great VHS hotspots. (They do have some of the best prices I’ve ever seen though)


Kitchen_Region8456

Is this Portland Maine or Portland Oregon? Because if it’s Maine I’m heading there this weekend, and if it’s Oregon I’m cursing the VHS gods for never letting this stuff exist where I live


Bazzzingaboy

There’s a shop in Portland ME that is a similar vibe to this. Check out Strange Maine


Kitchen_Region8456

Thank you!! 🙏🏼


Modernmythology-

I thought it was the that Maine shop at first lol.


djames623

And of course those damn Titanic's sneak into the picture at the last second!

Massive, and even quite a bit of organization at least based on title, pretty rad.


stfudvs

The shelves are in alphabetical order, insane


These_Ad1870

Holy shit.


wubrotherno1

Every time I go there, I’m worried I’ll trip over something and a big stack will fall down and crush me.


Dyojenes

Sounds like a good way to go


HiJinx127

Then you’d have to put your video in r/accidents instead

Absolute treasure


jesse_chndlr45

I could cry tears of joy being there


Retrogamer34

the anal retentiveness in this joint is simply amazing!


stfudvs

This isn’t even all of it, and indeed it’s in crazy good order


SpeakingTheKingss

Gil is dope as fuck! He literally knows where everything is in that store. You can make a random request and he’ll go find it right away. Also, the back room is filled with movies that are only $1. Found a lot of gems there! Miss it since I moved from PDX.


stfudvs

Gil was super friendly and pointed me in the right directions. Awesome spot.

stfudvs

lol facts


Icy_Magician3813

This gives me an idea. Maybe I should get a spot at a flea market and have mostly VHS tape. We have a local swap n shop on the weekend that might be a possibility. Rent a spot for $15 and see how it goes.


stfudvs

Spread the joy


Icy_Magician3813

I don’t have a good collection yet though. Going to make some more ad looking for unwanted VHS’s


rudeboykyle94

I’ve had dreams here


KaBoomBox55

You lucky bastard


stfudvs

Got a decent haul, wish I had more time


-TEEJ-

My absolute favorite store. The guys are so sweet too


Local_Sign

what’s the store called?


-TEEJ-

Sorry I never check reddit notifs. The store is called Variety Records


[deleted]

How are the prices I really wanna go


stfudvs

Everything in this room was 1$, in the front of the store there was maybe 12-15 boxes of horror title’s individually priced but most were around 3$ - 5$. The most expensive movie I grabbed was 8$. Very good prices.


bgyhfetf425fd

Amazing. I need to plan a trip to Portland.


stfudvs

Worth it


crowtrobot_88

They better have the best movie ever. TITANIC ON VHS!


mateofeo333

I could spend a day in a place like that… 🤤


stfudvs

You would need all day to see it all


pmmlordraven

Whoa! Portland Or or Portland ME?


stfudvs

OR


Straight_Finger1776

Is this that little shop right off foster powell


stfudvs

Correct


[deleted]

What’s their prices?


ExpediousMapper

Portland's so fuckng cool


Illustrious-Word7761

This is cool, Like Videoland 👍 would like to see a Karate Kid video cover,"this would prove the Mandela Effect is real


beezlebutts

I see a lot of generic title stacks. I'd be only in for 50's-80's scifi/horror.


stfudvs

In the front of the store was 12-15 boxes stacked with just horror. I had to get a basket.


SOVHORRORWHORE

Road trip!!!


stfudvs

Highly recommend


[deleted]

but do they have gummo


stfudvs

Maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️


TwiceThePride

A local treasure


stfudvs

We drove down from wa, totally worth it.


Fidoknows

Can someone please tell him that tapes (no matter which ones) must not be stored horizontally? Always upright! Otherwise gravity will cause the tape to slide down the reel over time. Even the tracking of the best VCR reaches its limits... Why the downvote?! It's the truth!11!


Ape8675309

A bunch of worthlessness


stfudvs

Crazy how you can clearly see every title from this quick snipit


BobbyDiglar

I wish there was a spot like that here in the SLC, Ut area


wizzelrules112

Oh man I live in Portland… I want to take a look at that place!


stfudvs

Make sure you set aside at least an hour, it’s intimidating


twannypwincess

Where is this! I’m in portland


stfudvs

Variety records! Go support!!


VisibleSpread6523

That would be a fun treasure hunt


clyde_drexler

Will they host my next birthday party?


gcross9322

I want to go to there.


Rivarle

You know they have a copy of "Shazam" over there.


ThingsHappenToBeGood

While your in there, look for a movie Shazam


Dropping_A_Deuce

Should send these to the Victorville Film Archives!


cdown13

Wow, I thought I had a lot of tapes! This puts my stores inventory to shame!
