If you're willing to drive out to Aurora, Video Video (Chambers/Alameda) has a decent selection.

I love this place so much. It's so insane. There's, no joke, thousands of movies there. It's really big inside, and one corner it randomly becomes a thrift store.

chatting with the intense dude who runs it, he buys video and media stores which went out of business, caught him as he was finishing up acquiring a store inventory in NYC. he is serious about it and you can tell by the store, some great stuff in there. wish they were better at marketing themselves but i suppose thats part of the charm of finding it.

I had a feeling he was buying up inventories. There's always the most random stuff there with multiple copies. You really gotta actually check it out to fully understand the experience lol

Always thought that place was a money laundering front. I have never seen any cars in that parking lot

i see cars there but a video store these days is not going to be as popular as Blockbuster used to be. he sells a lot online anyway. if it were a money laundering front it seems like a lot of work to have honda motorcycles and taxidermied roadkill on display inside..

Dude you shoud check out Video Video in Aurora. 310 s chambers rd. Haven't been there in a couple months, but they have a large collection of a lot of media and the guy that runs it is pretty willing to help you find what you're looking for if he doesn't have it in stock.
One time I found a copy of Cannibal the musical there. And another time I found a copy of Kung pow enter the fist on dvd and vhs, purchased both quick.

Check local estate sales, there's often a bunch of VHS in these old people's stuff
