Hey /co/, my little brother was coming down for college break this past week, so I thought it'd be fun to get out the old Ronald McDonald VHS tapes and watch them together, along with my older brother. All 3 of us really enjoy the tapes for Nostaliga (and just sort of genuinely).
My older brother decided to jokingly look up how much a set of the 6 episodes goes for, and he could only find listings for "Complete 5 sets" (with emphasis on 5). He did some research, and apparently the 6th one is super rare.
The hell should we do with it? Is it honestly worth anything? I remember we bought it online because we saw the other 5. Apparently people online haven't even SEEN the physical VHS before, and we've watched it like 6 times.
General "Rarest thing you own" thread. Pictures are recommended, timestamps even better (I can timestamp a picture of the VHS if you all want)
There was a thread about this just the other day. It is your duty to put a digital version of that online so everyone can see it.
>>68114783
Really? Is it archived?
And here is a picture of the back of it.
There's a guy on this board who'll pay like a million dollars for that tape. He's obsessed with it.
>>68114798
I find that hard to believe, but I did see someone on facebook offer $1000 for it like 10 years ago.
Trying to research the tape is really difficult, because it seems no one fucking owns it.
>>68114783
It's on myspleen, they have open registration now too
It was only offered online for a very short period of time. Its so rare that its considered to be sought-after Lost Media.
Rip that shit. Now.
>>68114795
Here it is.
https://archive.moe/co/thread/67808623/#67808623
>>68114846
How would I even rip it to my computer? I suppose I'd have to buy some VHS to PC sort of thing.
>>68114874
Read over the thread. Seems to be mocking the idea more than anything else, but still. Thank you.
>>68114744
I remember seeing 2 as a kid, didn't even know they had 6. Pretty neat, I guess. I found them to be pretty funny, but I was like... 6 or 7 back then.
>>68114841
No its not. Only the first 5 are. This is seriously something people have been trying to get a copy of for a very, very long time.
>>68114910
>Read over the thread. Seems to be mocking the idea more than anything else, but still. Thank you.
It was Sunday afternoon 4chan. They're always faggots.
>Someone actually owns this thing
I'm gonna go take a picture with a time stamp with the physical VHS, hold up.
>>68114910
It's called an A/V to USB converter. It costs less than 10 bucks.
Yeah, I've seen a guy begging desperately to find any sort of recording of that shit.
Cool find, OP.
>>68115111
Here is the picture, I apologize for the mediocre quality, but my phone's camera sucks.
>>68115136
Really? I suppose some place like Good Will might have one.
>>68115162
Pretty funny that something I took for granted (and as you can see by the picture, didn't even rewind) is rare.
>>68115192
>>68114795
>>68114744
>Someone actually posts proof they own it
The story behind this is that the McDonalds tapes flopped, so the last one was never released. McDonalds had already put it into production, so they made it available on their website in hopes of selling off a few copies. There was no promotion at all and few people cared (plus this was back when using the internet to buy things wasn't as common as it is now), so very, very few actually ended up being sold. Hell, for a long time people doubted that it actually existed.
This really is something special, anon.
>>68115250
Thanks for the info, I didn't even know they flopped. I guess that makes sense though, I LITERALLY could not find someone who had seen the cartoons until I discovered 4chan in like 2005 or 2006, and even then it was just a few people.
Its sort of exciting, feels like I own something that might actually be sort of rare is really sweet.
>>68115192
>Really? I suppose some place like Good Will might have one.
Probably not. It's a fairly modern thing. Just go online and find one. They're seriously only like 8 bucks.
Wasn't this on the /co/ list?
>>68115324
What list?
>>68115304
Alright, I'll take look online and see whats up with it.
This is better than that time some random guy popped up with a bunch of old VHS recordings of Toon Heads.
>>68114744
I own a few of the rarer comics, like Captain America #50 and such. I even have them framed.
>>68115394
>Toon Heads
Ronald > Hamburgler > McNuggers > Franklin > Grimace > Sundae > That black chick > Birdy
The real question is:
How good was the episode?
>>68115559
Honestly? Its okay.
My favorite is still Scared Silly. Dem songs.
Toasting in an awesome bread.
>The first person in years to prove they own this shit is someone who goes to 4chan
>>68115394
That was great. The guy had like 60 old VHS tapes full of random shit, a lot of which had never been uploaded online before.
OP
You need to rip that shit or sell it or something
>>68115673
I really doubt its worth much.
Even if its rare, its just a VHS tape. Not much crazyness about that.
ON THE RUN FOR FUN
>>68114744
Give you a buck fiddy OP
>>68115768
I'll take it!
Do you all want me to go take a picture of the cover?
>>68115246
I have that shirt.
>>68115791
Yes, go do it.
>>68115791
>>68115828
Oh, I already had one. Thought I didn't take it.
But yeah, the cover reminds me of scared silly, but if I recall correctly they get in the car in that episode too. Good ol' talking car
>>68115876
I think that is literally a picture from scared silly.
I bet they added that to save money.
>>68115876
>wild thornberrys with a hat
>>68115876
THERES NOTHING LIKE THE GREAT OUT DOORS
Scared Silly > Griamce Island > Space one > Have time will Travel > Birthday world
I've never even seen the last one though, so I can't rank it.
>>68115968
AND THE FARFLUNG FOREST IS THE BEST, OF COURSE
IF YOU WANNA GET CLOSE TO THE GREENERY
THEN CAMPING IN THE WILD IS THE PLACE TO BE
>>68116005
You and everyone else, except the OP
Do you guys have any other requests? Any other pictures? (though I've practically taken everything I think I can) I obviously can't upload it yet or anything, but we'll see if I can do so in the near future.
I do wonder if anyone would want to buy it. I don't want to get my hopes up, but its fun to dream.
>>68116149
Well OP, I hope its worth a fuck ton of money and you can sell it.And I hope you rip it before you sell it so they can't charge for rips.
Brofist, OP. Congrats on owning it, and you better rip that shit.
>>68114744
>>68114795
>>68115192
>>68115876
>>68116299
>>68116175
Thanks guys, I'll look online today for an A/V USB thing. Maybe stream it or upload it to youtube. Could be cool.
Isn't McDonalds memorabilia really collectible? What are the chances of OP finding some collector who wants it?
>>68116404
Dude, look up the guy who runs Lost Media and tell him about this shit.
His name is Dycaite, and you need to tell him about this ASAP, he might even tell you how to rip it proper and shit, he's a total bro.
Also, that guy who was asking for this every single day for like two weeks is going to shit himself when he sees this.
Seems the thread is practically dead. I might start another later on this week, just to see drum up more discussion.
Its nice to know that this does seem a bit rare.Or maybe the thread will pick back up
>>68116650
I actually read the entry on that site. Dycaite is his name? How can I get his email?
>>68116650
I really wish that guy posted some way to contact him. I want to send him these pictures to see his reaction.
>>68116665
I have no idea, honestly. I'm pretty sure he had an e-mail posted to the wiki, but after he wanted to move the site to it's own hosting network, Wikia booted him, stole the site, and made the Dycaite that posts on there a robot.
Oddly specificly supervillain, if you ask me, but whatever.
ANYONE have his e-mail?Maybe some sort of Lost E-mail Wiki?
>>68116665
You're not supposed to talk about LostMedia wiki anymore for various reasons. There's a site that they moved to, but its still under construction.
>>68116762
>>68116717
Oh, well, its not obvious I don't browse /co/ (mainly I browse /v/, /vg/, and /tg/) so I'm not up to date on stuff.
But if you all tell me how to contact the guy I'll certainly do so.
>>68116149
play it on your tv and take a picture of the screen so we can see some of the action
>Wake up to find a supposedly lost VHS being found
>The first thing the guy does it post on /co/
You magnificent bastard.
This is the best news I have received in the past two months. I lead a depressing life
>>68116792
lostmediawiki.com/
Use the shoutbar on the side. The admins of the site seem to check it daily.
High five for pictures OP. Would definitely love to see it ripped.
Can you post a screencap part of the movie to confirm its legitimate? You have a VHS player right?
>>68116843
Alternative, here's the forums they're currently using:
http://lostmediawiki.freeforums.net/
>>68116820
>>68116887
I'll do this in a few minutes to offer even more proof.
>>68116837
If it really is lost, its neat that I found it or something. Well, by found I mean my older brother looked up to see how much the whole set was worth, and could not find a set of 6.
>>68116843
I'll post a message there soon then.
>>68116874
High five to you too, bro.
>>68116908
Yes, it really was lost. Whatever copies of it still existed were thought to be lost forever in the attics of people who didn't give a shit. People have been trying to track down a copy forever, if only for the sake of media preservation.
>>68116828
I know, right?
What a fucker.
A great fucker.
Uploading the pictures as we speak. I apologize now for the HORRIBLE quality, but the only TV we have that plays VHS tapes is old and half broken.
Here you all are, probably the most proof I can give other than uploading the whole movie, which I can't do.

I got the monster right here.
As I said, quality is horrible, but trying to take pictures of a CRT TV is really hard.
>OP Delivers
You've given /co/ one hell of a Christmas present, anon.
HOLY SHIT THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS LEGITIMATE OH MY GOD
>>68117338
Yeah its Legitimate. I've owned the thing for fucking ever, I would have posted about it earlier if I knew it was rare.

Thanks guys.
Here is another of him. He wears a kilt for like 99% of the episode.
>>68117411
NO, OBAMA, PLEASE. I DIDN'T MEAN IT.
Kind of funny. A cartoon about the Loch Ness monster is near impossible to find, and it finally resurfaces, 11 years later, and our first glimpses of the actual video are blurry pictures.
>>68117450
I don't know of a way to take pictures of my CRT TV without it looking like complete trash.
>>68117330
>OP FUCKING DELIVERS
This is really something. It's almost like I'm witnessing a teeny bit of history!
>>68117446
>NO, OBAMA, PLEASE. I DIDN'T MEAN ITno seriously its even an inter agency joke about how one vhs tape has all the nuke master launch codes
but sure dont take my word for it but just dont complain nobody warned you
>>68117507
I know that feel, anon. Even if its just a Ronald McDonald cartoon, It feels cool.
>>68117531
Obama I am sure we can work something out.
>>68117477
Wasn't meant as a dig to the photos, based anon, just thought it was funny how similar it is to the legend of the Loch Ness monster itself.
Keep on being awesome.

>>68117587
If you like Scottish Stereotypes, you'll love this episode.
Oh, and the pictures with the sheep are from a part where Grimace is stuck in a tree because baby sheep are scary. The others are from a dance and song number about the monster.

Hopefully you can find a way to get a copy of this online someday, or a hundred spergs will kill themselves out of rage.
You've given them a glimpse of the promised land and their lives just can't compare.
Good job, /co/.
Now we find the Electric Piper, and all will be well.

Well, if an a/v to USB recorder thing is as cheap as they say, I might be able to get it up online some day soon.
OP I'll give you a thousand bucks Or name your price if you burn the tape afterwards
>>68115460
You should have seen that thread. Guy had like 30 old VHS tapes and just casually went "hey, anyone want me to upload anything?" People basically mauled him when they found out that he had about 20 episodes of Toon Heads on those tapes, along with a bunch of other shit that hadn't found their way to the internet before.
>>68117703
http://www.bcdb.com/cartoon/68830-Electric_Piper
>>68117723
>Post pictures then burn the tape
That just seems incredibly cruelbut also funny. I wouldn't do it though, /co/ are generally pretty cool guys.Not to say I wouldn't sell it though
>>68117703
I think I remember seeing that, but I never recorded it. If only, am I right?
>>68117772
$15,000 in $100 bills, I'll even deliver the money personally
>>68117767
Fool!Ddon't you think I've looked there?
It's just a short clip, the same clip available on Vimeo of the Climb the Mountain song. The entire movie has been lost for ages.
>>68117797
Okay, you know, maybe my dignity is worth about $15,000
>>68117772
I'll pay 1.5x as much as your highest bidder. I'll match any price up to 20,000
fuck this ill go as high as fifty thousand OP
IT'S A FUCKING CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
>>68117825
Is it a deal?
I'll give you up to $750,800 for it OP. That's all my savings + my house + what my credit allows for
>>68117868
>>68117839
It would really be something if I could sell the tape for that much. Would be sweet considering I'm poor as fuck.
>>68117905
I dunno man, people are offering lots of /co/funbux.
>>68117894
I almost feel like an asshole for having kept it all these years.
>>68117921
Only if you give me your shoes too.
>>68117921
Oh shit, obsession guy, is that you?
How have you been, buddy?
>>68117938
$7 million dollars worth of gold and silver coins deposited to a bank of your choice anon and this is my final offer
>>68118002
Now is that to burn the tape or to sell it to you?
>>68117963
Half the reason I've still got this thread open is to see obsession-fags reaction, if he ever sees this.
>>68117963
>>68118042
I really hope he sees this thread.
>>68118030
Sell but you have to meet my associate in person and on the condition you dont upload the video
>>68118074
Sure, when the money is in my account I'll hand over the tape.
We have to meet in public though, so there is no foul play. We'll meet up in a nice restaurant, We both bring suitcases and we accidentally pick up the others when we go to leave.
Also, you have to pay for it. Don't get cheap on me, anon.
>>68118110
How about your local McDonalds?
Fucking wow. Grats OP.
>>68118166
Sounds like a plan. No one would expect that.
>>68117703
give me an hour and i'll also post the screenshots here
I wonder if OP is actually going to get any legitimate offers.
You never know with lost media.
OP, I am prepared to offer 800 Billion Euros, to be delivered in a solid gold submarine to the coastal city of your choice, for that VHS.
>>68118231
>800 Billion Euros
What is that, like 40 bucks?
>>68118231
Do I get to keep the submarine?
>>68118230
I mean, I have to try and convince myself that no one will actually offer, but deep down I really, really hope I can sell this thing.
>>68118230
I was not kidding with my offer of $15000
>>68118275
OP, I have no problem with you selling the physical tape but please upload the video in full for the greater good
Also, my offer for the tape is a Big Mac Meal and a box of Flutie Flakes
>>68115136
I've looked online before and can only find them for around 30.
>>68118310
Well, I'd certainly try and rip the VHS before I sell it, but if it actually went for any sort of real money I think it'd involve lawyers, and I'd have to see if I could upload it. However, I'll do my best to make sure that I can do it for you all to see.
>>68118282
Anon pls, my heart.
>>68118275
my offer of $15,000 still stands on the condition you do not upload the tape since it would lessen its value
>>68118352
Like I said, if the VHS ever actually sold for any amount of real money, I'm sure we'd both have lawyers to make sure everythings cool.
If the person who paid me over 10 grand was like "Yeah, you can't upload it" its not like I can really get around that. I'm pretty fucking poor.
But this is all fantasy.
>>68118275
Of course you get to keep the submarine, I don't want it, it clashes with the platinum one.
>>68118450
>lawyering up for 15 grand
how poor are you anon? 15 thousand cold hard cash no questions askedand no im not joking since i know a client who would pay good money for it
>>68118481
Excellent, a solid gold submarine will work wonders.
>>68118517
How poor am I? Essentially living in the ghetto poor.
But who would pay that much money for it?
>>68114744
Would you consider this to be the greatest McDonald movie of them all?
There is no need for lawyers, that's just a waste of money. Agree to meet with the guy in a public area and just swap money for tape.
>>68118545
>But who would pay that much money for it?
I know people who pay top dollar for shit like this he even bought a gold lego minifig for $3k
>>68118598
Well, its certainly the rarest.
>>68118614
The lawyer would be one of my good friends who wouldn't charge me, but yeah. If its just cash, probably don't need him (and not like I'd tell teh gubament)
>>68118637
Was it rare?
>>68116299
I remember when /v/ used to do funny shit like this. Someone got asshurt at the Bub and Bob pics involving Samus with a black eye.
>>68118645
>Was it rare?
I think there was only 5000 pieces worldwide
>>68118696
Oh, thats neat.
I'm interested in how many of these stupid Ronald McDonald tapes sold. Probably not very many. As I said earlier in the thread, I don't even know anyone IRL who has seen any of the VHS tapes before, or know they exist.
>>68118226
Don't fuck with me, bro.
Eagerly waiting. Loved this movie as a kid.
>>68118746
I guess that not many have these tapes but the reason why its valuable is that even in the age of the internet its one of those things that you still cant find, the moment you upload it, it loses 90% of its value
>>68118814
I do see some truth to that, yeah. But the physical VHS itself would still be rare.
I remember seeing threads about this like a year ago. Its funny to see it finally surface right here on /co/
>>68118814
Because the advent of ROMs has made physical copies of rare games absolutely worthless, right guy?
Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go buy a copy of Earthbound for ten times it's original worth.
>>68118645
>>68118696
Yup, only 5k made.
http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._Gold
It leveled off at around $1.4k for a while, and now sits at the $700-$1,200 range.
>>68118746
Well, it's rare enough that I can't find an archived eBay listing.
>>68118895
>>68118950
physical copy is valuable in itself but the fact the you have something no one else can see factors a lot in these types of things
>>68118966
Not OP, but I myself looked when he was talking about it. I can't find an entry on e-bay or amazon, and no proof of anyone ever actually having owned it. Op seems to be the literal first.
>>68118344
You can get a cheap Hong Kong one on Amazon for a third of that. It probably won't last very long, but it'll do the job.
>>68118950
>Because the advent of ROMs has made physical copies of rare games absolutely worthless, right guy?
Well, yes it has.
But, there are still stupid people with money around.
>>68118966
>Lego's face when they release this fucker as part of a common set
>>68119003
To be fair, I've seen plenty of people on here or in old forums post about how they had an old copy but sold it/lost it/it's rotting away in their parents' basement etc. Obviously some of them were just bullshitting, but now that it's apparent VHS copies actually do exist it's not that unreasonable that at least some of them could've been telling the truth.
>>68119026
>gold plated lego
>on a common set
>>68118999
>>68119014
Realistically, the only people who would buy this video are people who collect McDonald's merchandise, and they won't care if its online or not, because they'll be the only one with a VHS.
Still though, if OP was smart he would sell it before he uploads it. Obviously he needs to rip it first, then sell it, then upload it for maximum profit.
>>68119037
True, but if so few sold the chances of someone having one are extremely slim. I didn't mean OP is the only one to own it, I meant OP is the only one to actually provide legitimate proof.
>>68119041
seconding this
don't just sell it to some asshole who'll wreck the tape or lock it up forever or whatever without ripping it first
>>68119038
I don't think he's actually gold plated, is he?
>>68119094
it is
The moment you let someone to make it digital it loses all value.
Offer still stands OP but its up to you but I can guarantee you that there are some eccentric people who would raise it that high just because its not anywhere on youtube or any other internet site
>>68119140
You mean the $15,000?
Like, if you're actually being serious give me an email and I'll contact you.
>>68119094
Nah, just a gold chrome finish.
>>68118950
think of it this way you have the only full original stolen copy of Food Fight
It will be worth $100,000 since no else has it but once its uploaded to youtube It will go for around $3000 to $4000
Put it on Ebay.
>>68119180
I am on the condition you dont upload it or any copy of it before and after the sale
>>68119284
Don't be a cunt, guy.
>go to someone who does vhs to digital and doesn't know the value of it
>sell vhs on ebay
>upload the digital to youtube few months after
Rip it. Hold onto the Rip. List on eBay and advertise fucking everywhere for it online amongst McDonald's collectors. Sell and wait until it's in collector's hands. Upload it.
Is it a dick move? Definitely. Does it score you shit loads of money and gives something amazing to hundreds, maybe thousands of people who have been searching for this over the past 11 years? Yes.
>>68119238
The question is for how much though.
>>68119284
If I actually sold for that much I couldn't really go against the terms of the sale.
I dunno, its a lot to think about. Like I said, if you're serious give me an email and I'll be glad to talk to you.
>>68119305
>>68119310
I'd feel bad about that, but I mean, I also want to give the gift of it to /co/. I'd just have to see how it goes when I talk to people.
>>68119340
op I will kill myself and my entire family if you sell this without ever uploading it.
don't make me do it, op. our blood will be on your hands.
think of the children.
Congratulations OP you've got something cool!
>bit of lost media found
>OP seems nice but is being corrupted by offers of immense money to destroy/not upload the tape
Don't be tempted, OP.Calling it right now, that guy offering the money is Obsession Guy, he's so obsessed he wants to have the tape all to himself. Don't let him jerk off over your childhood, OP, don't sell!
>>68119340
>I dunno, its a lot to think about.
Offer still stands but I'll give you a day to think/try ebay/talk with /co/, I'll make a thread tomorrow at this exact time and then we'll exchange details if you're still up to italso dont think about pulling a dick move on us since we know youre the only recent one who has the vhs we can track down any upload/copy very well since i do shit like this for a living
>>68119467
>>68119340
If you list it on eBay, you have a few options. One is to list it for an obscenely high Buy It Now price and leave a Best Offer option - this gives you the option to either get the Buy It Now (and get paid as soon as that person buys it) or accept lower offers that are probably more reasonable. Or you could list it as an auction, putting the minimum price at whatever lowest amount you're willing to take - downside is it could very well sell for only the minimum price, upside is it could go far higher than whatever obscene Buy It Now price you might put it at.
>>68119467
I'm not stupid. I can't go "HEY GUYS, HERES THE TAPE, NOT GONNA UPLOAD IT" then the next day its on youtube. That'd be retarded, and I'd rather not get sued or worse.
Still not sure why you can't just give me an email now.You might just be trolling though
>>68119461
But anon, I'm a poor fag. Thats why the money is so fucking tempting. I feel like this is the plot to some kind of made-for-tv movie, except the whole town won't band together.

Good ol' Soul Calibur
Yoshimitsu for life.
>>68119543
Good point, I'll have to consider all of my options, thanks bro.
Here is my suggestion OP,
You will still be able to fetch significant amounts of money for the physical copy of the tape even if you upload it.
How about in exchange for uploading it, we'll purchase the converter cord for you to be able to upload it.
I think that's a pretty fair tradeoff and serves the greater good

If you record yourself shoving the VHS up your ass and then destroying it (the tape) in any manner of your choosing, I will give you 1,000,000 USD contingent on your uploading the resulting video online for the world to see.
I hope we can discuss this further.

>OP is a poorfag who needs the money
>Is being offered a stupid amount for it by an evil man
>This is real life so its probably better for him to get money to improve his life than it is for some neckbeards to see it
God fucking dammit why can't life be like a cartoon?
>>68119608
If life were like a cartoon we'd all band together and start a "Rip first then Sell it to whoever" fund to beat $15k's offer.
Hmmmm.....
>>68119608
because if this were a cartoon OP would have been dead the moment he watched the show
>>68119594
>You will still be able to fetch significant amounts of money for the physical copy of the tape even if you upload it.
>>68119577
Start a kickstarter with a goal of however much the tape goes for. Never explicitly say that the kickstarter is for releasing the intellectual property of McDonald's, but rather, for starting your own stream site.
Once you reach your kickstarter goal, stream the video on repeat on the stream site for a few weeks.
Make tons of money from small ads on the site as everybody watches it and shows it to all of their friends.
Retailer exclusive 3D cover of Forever Evil #1 from last year's NYCC.
I worked at a store that had a small comic section and since my boss (who owned two others stores) was getting multiple, he offered it to me as a gift.
The store just shut down about two months ago. Still pretty bummed about it, especially since I'm out of a secondary source of income.

>You will still be able to fetch significant amounts of money for the physical copy of the tape even if you upload it.
Has there ever been other lost media discovered on /co/? I'm curious. Watching this shit unfold is like a fucking mystery, I love it.
>everybody talking about how much they'd buy the tape for
>OP is a poor as fuck ghetto fag
That's pretty cruel, seeing as we all know that nobody is going to make an actual offer and OP's going to be just as poor as he is now.
>>68119735
Not discovered, per say, but a giant push from /co/ is attributed to the release of Dexter's Rude Removal.
>>68119735
it's not really discovered yet if it still hasn't been uploaded and might never be
this thread is just one huge /co/cktease
>>68119608
>sell it to that heartless monster and have money
>upload it and you'll have e-fame in an anonymous imageboard which the users have many times ridiculed you or your mother a number of times in the past
its not rocket science
>>68119826
Thats what I meant. While its wonderful that people could see this rare episode, its way more useful for OP to just get paid, especially if he is poor.
>>68119577
>Still not sure why you can't just give me an email now.
Because im an anon at first and businessman second, I'll give you enough time to think about it and to let you hear /co/'s options
>>68119870
Alright, well, I'll be around tomorrow. What time exactly will you be making the thread?I'm still like 99.9% sure its a troll, but still. Gotta have some hope
>>68119826
Or, best option:
>Make a digital copy
>Sell to the guy
>Hold on to digital copy for years
>Release it at some far point in the future, or for extra paranoia security:
>Have it uploaded onto the internet/whatever exists in the future as part of his last will
I can see from the original image posted that you are white or white-passing. Please do not sell the tape and allow it to potentially pass into the hands of the lesser races.
Thank you for your consideration, and remember-- white pride world wide!
>>68119912
>What time exactly will you be making the thread?
Same time? or what time will you be lurking tomorrow?
>>68119932
88/15 or whatever it is skinheads say.
>>68119950
I'll be around the whole day, but like I said, I don't browse /co/. Is like 2 or 3 PM EST good for you?
>>68119870
The real reason he "can't" is because he won't. He's been fucking with you throughout this entire thread and making these posts about buying it just to upset people who want it ripped. Simple as that. If you want to sell it, look outside 4chan, and rip it anyway. Upload the rips after its sold if for whatever random reason the buyer demands that it remain unripped. He can't prove you did it, so even if there was a contract you'd be completely safe.
Best topic I've read all month.
>>68120039
>He can't prove you did it, so even if there was a contract you'd be completely safe.
>Implying eccentric buyers wont kill you anyways
You should just sell the damn thing on E-bay OP but not before copying it
First sell the VHS on Ebay and after that sell the digital copy on Ebay too.
>>68119642
>If life were like a cartoon we'd all band together and start a "Rip first then Sell it to whoever" fund to beat $15k's offer.
I'd donate £10 to that fund
>>68120195
Hah. That reminds me of when people would rip cutscenes from games and sell DVDs of them on eBay.
>>68120080
Yeah, I'm sure there are a ton of people who would love to get their hands on the copy. If this guy trying to buy it right now is legit he probably just wants it to himself so he can turn a quick buck.
Skip the middleman, sell it yourself, if the guy here is still interested he'll try and buy it from you when you do it publicly.
I am incredibly impressed.
I followed some of these threads for a while, and always saw people claiming to have it. Nice to see someone who actually owns it.
>>68120195
yes
make bootleg tapes/dvds of it and sell them on ebay forever
>>68120256
The dude is probably trying to screw him over.
>>68120337
That's what I'm thinking.
Don't let yourself get screwed OP.
>>68120256
Faggot must have some buyer who will pay top dollar for a non-digital copy
>>68120353
But maybe I want to screw OP
:3

>>68120369
We'll see. I am not throwing away other possibilities, but it'd be foolish to just tell him to fuck off. Its why I want to speak to him in emails. I might decide to sell it to him, I might decide to sell it on e-bay. I might seek our collectors themselves to sell to. We'll see.
>>68120420
Whatever happens OP, give the money to Genndy Tartakovsky to make a Samurai Jack finale. Or Guillermo del Toro for a Hellboy 3.or, you know, get out of the ghetto and make a nice life for yourself. whichever you prefer.
>>68120465
Samurai Jack was pretty radI'd definitely be trying to GTFO of where I live
>>68120510
where you from OP?
>>68120510I hope you make it anon, good luck and don't let someone fuck you over. Be smart, see you on the other side.

Florida. The worst state.
>>68120544
You too bro. Who knows, maybe this dude is just trolling and I'll make another thread later/tomorrow/whatever with a few more pictures for funsies.
All I know is that every now and then the Farflung Forest song gets stuck in my fucking head, and then I'm all like "fucking Farflung Forest".
Also, the Fry Kids died. Like, seriously, the Fry Kids fucking died in that mansion when they fell into that trap. They were never rescued, and they never went and tried to find them after that Franklin kid was exposed.
Ronald McDonald killed the Fry Kids.
>>68120555
hope he's not trolling you anon so that you can live a better life
>>68120555
A fellow Floridabro, where abouts in Florida are you man?
>>68120558
I actually remember that. I don't think you ever see the fry kids again EXCEPT in the 6th one. I think they're in the car with them or something.
>>68120594
Me too bro.

Got to say OP. I'm jelly. I really hope you do the right thing and digitize it for all of us. We've got a lot of things to cross off the list.

UNTIL NOW...
It actually exists?
>>68120773
Apparently so anon. You're witnessing some lost-media type history.
>>68120759
UNTIL NOW!
>>68120722
After it's digitized it'll be worth nothing. It will just be another cartoon on Youtube.
>>68120868
OP should upload half of it online and sell the tape. That way, we have part of it, OP gets out of his shitty neighborhood, and he can upload the final half a couple years from now.
>>68120868
But that's not the point. The point is to recover and preserve all media for future generationsor just for the fun of it.
>>68120759

WHO COULD LIVE IN HERE?
WHAT FAMILY?!
>>68120868
I don't know about it; it'd still hold value to somebody who wants a complete collection.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility that this is one of only a handful of existing tapes; there weren't that many issued to begin with and some of those that were are probably no longer watchable if they haven't been disposed of altogether.
Plus ripping it insures that it just doesn't go into somebody's collection to disappear or be destroyed. It's not like that doesn't happen; there's apparently an existing copy of London After Midnight that is likely deteriorating away in some private collector's vault.
>>68120994
its back home in the Philippines, apparently he also has some colored horse storyboards
Not /co/, but I have a rare NES game called 'Mario's Cock and Balls Adventure'. I bought it from the flea market for $20, it has the regular Mario label but the actual game has Mario running around nude. That's the only real difference I noticed though.
Probably a long lost prototype.
I think I saw the original stolen foodfight
