Found a VHS in a Sacramento Goodwill where a guy tries to sell his own kidney on camera
Paid $1.50 for a tape labeled "family reunion 94" at a Goodwill off Watt Ave, and it cut straight to a guy in a garage explaining his kidney has "low mileage" to someone off screen. The whole pitch lasted 11 minutes and he kept citing a classified ad from a newspaper as proof it was legal-ish, then asked the camera guy to "check the going rate" twice. Has anyone else popped in a cheap tape expecting birthday footage and gotten a full sales pitch instead?
Most thrift store tapes are junk anyway, so getting 11 minutes of some guy pitching a kidney is way better than another blurry birthday party you would toss after five minutes. A family reunion recording has zero value unless it is your own family, while a weird tape like this actually has a story behind it and could even be worth something to the right collector. Your buck fifty bought you a memory nobody else has, which beats the usual moldy wedding video any day.
