What to do with a Box 'o Porn?

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me two fairly large boxes of VHS porn. With porn being so prevalent on the 'net, I haven’t found a need to crack open the boxes. I can’t exactly sell them at the garage sale and donating them to the Goodwill would be in poor taste.

Any ideas?

Andy, for the last time, I don’t want your giant box of pornography!

Oddly there are collectors who eschew digital copies and want the original VHS movies for rare out of production stuff. Try eBay to see pricing.

Any Andrew Blake among them? Are you allowed to ship them across state lines? I’ll give you my address! :wink:

I’ll be at Shayna’s…

ETA: Dammit, Shayna – no fair on the edit!

My e-mail is in my profile, or you can send me a PM

Porn on eBay? Why did this never occur to me?

It’s there.

Ok, ok, send them ALL to me. I’ll go through them and give the non-Andrew Blake ones to Asimovian. Or just invite him and his new love over. :smiley:

Good lord my husband’s going to kill me.

Give them to me? Do I look like I own a VCR?! I was hoping for a viewing party! :smiley:

Er, purely to assess fair market value, of course.

In for a penny in for a pound - SEX PARTY AT casa Shayna!!

Leave it all in the woods, where curious boys are sure to find it.

Step 1: Plant them in your boss’s office.
Step 2: ‘Discover’ them and take photos.
Step 3: Profit!

Seriously. I had no idea you could sell porn on eBay. I’ll gladly give them to a fellow Doper if you want to pay for postage. Send me a PM if you’re interested.

Dude, the ONLY reason to own a VCR is for vintage porn viewing! I have an extra VCR I can give you!!

Oh no, now I’m really in trouble! :eek:

How big of a box are we talking about? Are there any Andrew Blake among them? I wouldn’t want to deny you making some money on them, but I wouldn’t mind any Blake titles you might have. :slight_smile:

Mail them to me. 90% percent of everything that comes into my house mysteriously disappears.

So 90% of your pies can develop mysterious holes?

As noted above, there are a number of collectors who are looking for vintage porn. This isn’t quite as cool as if you’d been handed boxes of old Super 8 porn reels (which could bring in a small fortune if parceled out properly on eBay), but there is a large subgroup of folks who capture/digitize older Beta and VHS porn that is not available on DVD, who are often willing to pay decent money for individual titles. Smaller studios, early releases, amateur/pro-am releases, hard-to-find niches, and softcore (believe it or not!) can fetch decent money. I know a few folks in the girl/girl scene who would pay a few hundred dollars for clean VHS (or better) versions of certain amateur and pro-am releases.

Make sure you write Canada on the box, so if someone finds it at your house, it’ll look like you’re holding it for Canada.

Just be very careful. There may be Traci Lords titles lurking in the box - double-check against her IMDB list to make sure you don’t unwittingly own “child pornography”.
