Sometimes the cover is enough to get you to part with a buck

I wouldn’t have even hesitated to buy that at a yard sale for a buck

I was hoping for a 45 to 70 minute CGI nightmare. Nope it is 18 minutes and a few seconds. 2 minutes of that is opening and closing credits. No extras . And seems this is based on a children's picture book.

Mildly disappointing, but still $1 I consider well wasted

Did you go back for the second, third, etc. lessons?

[Ultimo Gallos]

I wish there was more lessons. This one sucked.

So a coked out lizard kid learns martial arts from a sensei who has seen some shit.?

[Ultimo Gallos]

Close,hyper lizard kid is taught the first lesson. No punching or kicking at all.

Feels more like a long trailer for a series.

Normally locally when I find odd kids vhs and dvd it has a religious angle to it. Buttercream gang,Donut Dan all that stuff. This doesn't which I found odd.

Mum got suckered in to buying some “Hallmark” style religious VHS’s back in the late 90’s and Buttercream Gang was absolutely one of them. We watched it once, whole family thought it sucked and I have no idea where it ended up after that haha

I grabbed what turned out to be the second Butercream Gang movie just cause the thrift had 20 copies of it.

Miss finding odd vhs. Found one that was advertising some handfishing company up in North MS. "Hillbilly Handfishing INC Come catch some catfish with us USING YOUR HANDS!"

It’s true though. I’m a DVD reseller and most people really do judge a book (or DVD/Blu-ray/4K) by its cover.

The trick is it has to be sexy but not too sexy (or some mainstream marketplaces will assume it’s porn and not let you list it). Also the old adage, “funny don’t make money” is kind of true because I’ve had less success with the profit margins on comedies.

So ideally it’s like a woman in a bikini holding a knife or something that makes the most money.

Back before wrestling DVD sales dropped if the cover had a woman on it it sold fast. Didn't matter what wrestling fed or event it was. Got me tempted to make custom covers for a few dvds on my table that were not selling.

There is a CM Punk WWE set that is now on it's 4th table.

Started off in the collection of a local worker. He realized he neveer watched it so put it on his gimmick table asking 5 bucks. After a year he was tired of seeing it and traded it to another guy for somethign,I think an old video game.

Sat on this second guy's table for 6 months he was tired of seeing it "hey Bob want to gimmie a buck for this CM Punk dvd?" Handed him a buck and it sat on my table for close to 17 months. When at a show the vendor next to me saw it and asked what I wanted "Gimmie double what I paid and it is yours" Got my 2 bucks and it is now sitting on his table.
