Is this Goodwill trying to compete with the Titanic VHS collector on Tik Tok or what?

That entire shelf is referred to as “The Danger Zone” by the employees.
They often invert it just for kicks and the tapes stay right there!!

it would look much cooler if they were sorted
but it’s definitely mildly interesting

There are so many VHS copies out there because Top Gun was the first movie made to be *sold* on tape, not just rented. I believe it was $29.99, as opposed to around $100 for other movies up till then.
Question is why they chose to do so. For second hand stores, shelf space is about the most precious thing you have. You’ll get 30 copies of the same book by the same author in a month and most of them will go to recycling, because you just can’t waste shelf space on something you’re not likely to sell
Perhaps they’re banking on it becoming a meme thing

I believe what you meant to say was:
“I’m about to own 31 VHS copies of Top Gun!”
I don’t want one copy of Time Cop!
But them all

I work in a second hand bookstore, and we could probably do this with just about any book by Nora Roberts, John le Carré, Dan Brown, John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon, Danielle Steel, or Clive Cussler

You wanna watch Top Gun?

Do you live near a military base? Because when I was living near Quantico base, there was a glut of used Robotech novels.
more like top fun buy them all
31 copies of that Pepsi commercial.
It’s like the Nukie shelf from RLM but with Tom Cruise.
Looks like a golden mine.
“One, thirty-one Top Guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight”
sally spencer – the dead hand of history does sound interesting
I feel the need, the need to be analog.
The Sims 2 👀
I wonder if they’re from a bunch of Scientologists putting their old life behind them
Someone wither really hated that movie or had an addiction and their spouse made them get rid of all traces of it.
I’m more amazed by the one GameCube game.
