My love of VHS started, and then the advent ebay changed all that in 1995. Most of my tapes came from the shop my uncle had, though in the later years I started buying up tapes from rental shops for very little money. My luv for VHS started right there in that shop. We use to have a Chinese takeaway just two shops away. Use to buy a takeaway and sit watching the latest releases like Evil Dead, C.H.U.D., Spies Like Us, Pale Rider, The Goonies etc....

I worked in rental too - was a counter jockey from 1991 until getting promoted to field management - I left in 2003 to work for an online rental startup - not long before the industry imploded.
