Has anyone else noticed that U.S. Amazon have recently made it harder (or impossible?) to search specifically for VHS items? VHS used to be a category in the search menu, but no longer (and I can't imagine it's some bug in my system).
I found it a useful tool when ferreting out some of the old stuff that is listed on Amazon. I have come across things that hadn't been tagged as "Movies & TV", for example. Drat them. |

It's still there, you just have to do a general search first, then pick it out of the list to narrow results. (It's not under Movies & TV either, it's an entirely seperate option.)
I think it's about time I share one of my best tools for VHS: Anime Mania It's just an old free site from Tripod, that lists anime releases, that hasn't been updated in something like 5 years. What it does have is direct amazon links. Since the old VHS listings tend to get screwed up, I've found this site very valuable in turning up the correct page for the item I want (most notably Eat Man VHS 1, which is listed as Haunted Junction on Amazon for some reason.) |

Thanks for your reply!
It's very strange, because I just did exactly what you describe with Amazon, and I couldn't see "VHS" anywhere (either in the drop-down department menu or in the results-summary box on the left of the page). Thanks for the link! Funny thing. It was actually an Eat-Man related search that got me really annoyed about this in the first place. (And I guess I'll stay annoyed, since I can't get it to work for me, at least!) After assembling an Eat-Man collection volume by volume recently, I happened upon a rather beautiful (and not terribly more expensive) VHS box set that was there on Amazon all the time, but that had been hiding from me because of difficulties in searching for VHS (my difficulties, at least). Oh well. Anyone want to buy six separate Eat-Man volumes from me so I can trade up? |
