movies you would like to buy, but are too expensive

those damn ewok movies! battle of endor and caravan of courage. I often see these going for around $100, thats crazy!

Disney blu-rays - always overpriced!


Versus - an action/martial arts movie that I have never found for less than $60. As I was writing this I checked on ebay to see what theyre going for, $7.00!!! yes, seven dollars! now I have to buy a copy.

   they are video tapes without upc codes mostly, because they are imports i bought in chinatown in boston, and some are movies that friends overseas sent me that are technically banned in their own countries.

a few are because of the content, since i don't sell in the adult section, and some ebay has deemed pirated, even though they aren't. most are quite old, like 25-35 years old, and ebay has developed a bit of an attitude about listing stuff that's on tape that is OOP and hasn't been released on dvd in the states.
  an example, one is titled"hell", no upc code, no subtitles, EXTREMELY violent and gory, it's rumored it was a snuff film.
  things have changed ALOT on ebay in the last 5 years, believe me! another example, you aren't technically allowed to list movies with no picture in the listing. and you can't put anything in their "library" without a upc code, which they now demand that you allow them to do.

Can you tell me a bit about a few of these films?  I have an interest in hard to find underground films like that.  What year is Hell and what country, for instance?

I'll say by the way if you just leave your listings vague, just "Hell VHS 1985" and a picture of it, eBay is very unlikely to notice - there are tons of people selling clearly bootlegged foreign films this way and they rarely get taken down.

give me a day or 2, i'll have to open some boxes and find the right tapes. i'm shelfbuilding at present, don't want sawdust in the tapes!
   quick recollection is that hell is japanese, late 60's, lots of demons.

Maybe Jigoku (Jigoku means hell in Japanese)?  I've seen that one if so, good stuff.  Probably the goriest film of its vintage I've seen.
