A Box of Potential

This is super exciting on a lot of levels for me. Especially the silver toned rectangle item on the right.

I'm not usually one for Facebook market place. But from time to time things show up that are unusual if not unexpected.

A listing came up for factory sealed VHS tapes and a tape rewinder that also could do fast forwarding!

The interaction was a bit odd as the seller stated the meeting time at 6pm sharp, then also stated they were in a hurry and that they had a meeting at 6:20, but upon getting to the meeting place ON TIME, they were not there, and instead had some lady who wasn't the original person selling it, there to give me the items and take my money. 

It was all more than a bit shady, and a bit slim on the interactions, but in this day and age, if you're digging for gold of any kind, you're bound to get dirty.

Okay, that sounded way cooler in my head...

So first of all, it's pretty rare to find a lot this varied in types and all sealed. The rewinder was the main focus and after I get it cleaned up and some pics taken I'll make a post about that.

Advertising and promoting

The next move is to start getting flyers out there at some local businesses I've reached out to, and to focus on doing some more local shows for just the promotion of all of this. I did two shows so far, one in downtown KC at a creative space that had a decent crowd, and then the following day, one at Apex Comics for Free Comic Book day. Vastly different attendees, but I managed to have people at both shows that were interested and took flyers with them.

Now the plan is to figure out more locations further out to market in, and add a playlist of videos to my YouTube channel that will be specifically for Spirit of Legacy.
