Leaving Las Vegas (VHS - 1997 - EN)

Every VHS tape you find at mafobeso is individually inspected, cleaned, and rewound by us before being added to our inventory. We pay particular attention to the condition of the tape and carefully check the cassette for mold, dirt, and visible damage. The case, cover, and inserts are also inspected so that you get the most accurate impression possible of the condition of your film.

Especially with vintage VHS, signs of wear and the history of a cassette are part of the unique character of the medium. Original video store stickers, price tags, rental markings, or other traces of times past may therefore be preserved. For us, these are not flaws, but part of the history that makes every original VHS tape unique. At the same time, we make sure that cases and covers are in good and presentable condition and that relevant signs of wear are described transparently.

We are selective when choosing our VHS tapes. Condition, cleanliness, completeness, and collector value play an important role. We only offer films that we ourselves would be happy to have in our collection or on our own film shelf. Of course, used and decades-old video cassettes may show age-related signs of wear – that is exactly what makes many vintage VHS tapes authentic witnesses of their era.
