Varietease 1954 VERY RARE VHS Betty Page Vicki Lynn Something Weird Burlesque. Condition is "Very Good".
Welcome & thanks for stopping by the store!BRIEF DESCRIPTION:This listing is for a hard to find (HTF) VHS copy of the movie "Varietease" from 1954. The film stars Betty Page, Lili St. Cyr, Cass Franklin & Monica Lane and was directed by Irving Klaw. It is generally considered to be a Burlesque Variety Show. This is an NTSC tape so it can be played on American VHS players.... It was distributed by "Something Weird Video". I purchased this as part of a large collection from its original owner, who themselves purchased it directly from the distributor at some point between the late 90s and early 2000s. Both the cover and tape are in excellent (EX) condition. A great opportunity to own a high-quality transfer of a rarely seen film!ITEM DETAILS:IMDB Page - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045259/Runtime - 71 MinutesCover - ClamshellDistributor - Something Weird VideoRegion - NTSCSHIPPING:The item will be shipped in a bubble mailer via USPS Media Mail (2-8 days) for the highest value option, but I also offer a faster shipping option as a USPS first class package (3-5 days). I am happy to combine shipping with other items - when it comes to media mail it becomes a great value to order multiple tape/records and save a bunch on shipping! All lots will be shipped in a box, please send me a message if you'd like to request a box for single items. I also offer International Shipping through the Global Shipping Program.SHOP INFO:If this item suits your fancy, you should check out my other items! I primarily sell VHS tapes, music records, & other media, with a heavy emphasis on Rare & Out of Print (OOP). All my items are stored indoors in a smoke-free house and are packed with care & with COVID sanitation in mind. I try to take pictures that accurately show the quality of the item in full, but don't hesitate to message me if there are any quality questions from unclear photos and I will happily take more! Given that VHS & other retro media formats are no longer made -most of my items are secondhand that I've acquired as part of large collections, generally from their original owners. I only list items that I believe are in FULL WORKING ORDER, but given that it can take a significant amount of time to fully test each VHS tape I come in contact with, the items are sold as pictured and are untested unless otherwise noted. Feel free at anytime to request I run a test though, I have adequate players to check any piece of media for sale in the shop! Thank you for your interest, please send a message if I can answer any further questions! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------QUALITY GUIDE:Ebay's quality standards on VHS & other media are not very specific, so here are my quality standards:Mint (M)/Sealed: Given the age of my items, I only consider items to be "mint" if they are factory sealed. If the item is still sealed, it will be clearly noted in the description.Near Mint (NM): Items are in flawless condition, but are unsealed. Vinyls have been rarely played since opening and have no visible scratches. VHS is in perfect viewing condition with no distortion, fuzziness, or loss-of-quality from beginning to end. There are no stickers or sticker residue on the tape or the cover. The cover has no dents, scratches, or fading. VERY FEW of my items are NM, since it requires testing tapes from beginning to end. As a result, NM VHS tapes especially are priced adequately higher than their EX, VG, etc. counterparts.Excellent (EX): Items have been kept in outstanding condition with almost no wear and tear. Vinyls may have visible light scratches but excellent sound overall. VHS is in excellent viewing condition with minimal to no distortion, fuzziness, or loss-of-quality. There are no stickers or sticker residue on the tape or the cover. The cover may have very slight dents, scratches, or fading. All my EX items are from personal collections and are NOT ex-rentals.Very Good (VG): Items have been kept in great condition and have minimal wear and tear. Vinyls may have light scratches and pops, but great sound overall. VHS is clearly viewable with few to no instances of distortion but may have some loss-of-quality or fuzziness from age. There may be a few stickers or some sticker residue on the tape or the cover. The cover may have dented corners, some visible scratches, or fading. Clamshell cases may have cracks but securely close fully. VG items from personal collections have been viewed a number of times and occasionally may be ex-rentals.Good (G): Items have been kept in adequate condition for them to be in full-working order. VHS is viewable but there may be instances of distortion, snowiness, or loss-of-quality from age. There may be stickers and other blemishes on the tape. The cover may be damaged, or there may be no cover at all. Most G items are ex-rentals or are from thrift stores. Note: I don't sell G vinyl.Out of Print (OOP): Item has no official digital host & has only received limited home releases in various OOP forms. In terms of VHS tapes, I consider films OOP if they've only released on VHS, Laserdisc, & limited DVD thusfar. If it has been licensed for online viewing or has a Blu-Ray version, it is not OOP!Hard to Find (HTF): Very few copies of the item have circulated recently and the film may or may not be OOP. It may be the only listing or one of only a few on eBay in the past several months.Ultra Rare: The item generally sells for the highest price-range amongst its media type. Some people like to call these "Holy Grail" items, since they have such a high demand for the very few number of copies in existence. Anything I mark Ultra Rare, I don't ever expect to come in contact with again. Truly a media gem!Very Rare: The item generally sells for higher than its original retail price because of a limited release or popularity amongst collectors. I only mark items Very Rare that are from small distributors or were distributed for very short periods of time. Most of these items are also OOP and/or HTF.Rare: The item sells at higher prices than commons, normally because of its obscurity or popularity. I only mark items Rare that are infrequently listed on eBay and are worth seeking out for collectors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------RETURNS:I offer easy 30-day returns on all items priced $10 and above. Please request a return or send me a message if you'd like to return a lower priced item.
