Anybody ever found any bootlegged VHS tapes or DVDs at any thrift store or flea market? If so, what did you find and what was your experience?

I bought one bootleg VHS set several years ago at a flea market. It was a set of three VHS tapes of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon. The tapes included 4-5 episodes that were taped off TV. It doesn't really include any commercials, but it does include some CBS saturday bumpers from the 80s.

I was also looking around at the Goodwill yesterday (and it was the main reason I made this thread) and I found a couple other bootlegs. The first one I found was a bootlegged tape of Pokemon The First Movie. I don't know if this includes the English dub, the Japanese version, or what. The cover is very shoddy, but what's interesting is that the tape included the "banned seizure video". It even showed a warning on the back of the case that mentioned that kids got seizures when Pocket Monsters was broadcast in Japan.

Aside from Pokemon, they also had a three VHS set of Freaks and Geeks. It showed what episodes are on the set, but they are out of order. One of the tapes included the pilot episode and then the very last episode.

So, what about you guys? What type of Bootlegged VHS/DVDs have you seen at Thrift Stores and flea markets?

I found several bootleg Godzilla titles with Japanese language and English subtitles at a card show in a mall many years ago.

Later on, I was able to find actual official releases for all those movies, but without bootlegs, I would have had to wait a few YEARS to see those movies.
