The Hunt: Day 2

Not too much to report for day 2. Most of the day was driving from destination to destination with no results at all. The lone stop that held any sort of promise was quickly dispelled by the owner of the store. 

After about a half day of driving we stopped at a Video Store that was going out of business. Unfortunately, most of their stock was brutally mutilated into cut boxes. There were still a few films I would have grabbed, but the owner was not willing to sell anything until Wednesday. When asked about pricing I heard "We're going to start them off at $15 a piece on Wednesday. I know we have some valuable tapes here." NOTHING worth that much was present and almost everything was cut!!!

The biggest heartbreak happened as we were about to leave. I spotted House Party 1 and 2. Neither were even cut! This may sound petty to most collectors since these tapes seem to be common to everyone else. These tapes seem to elude me no matter where I go! It was a bitter sweet moment to finally spot them in person yet not be able to purchase them. Good luck selling them for $15 lady. Ugh.

The rest of the day was closed down stores and empty porn shops. We power onward!
