How rare is this oddworld video tape
 
Hi everyone,

I am new to the forums and a massive Oddworld fan. I recently found an old Oddworld videotape in my room. I got it from a shop called dicksmith in Australia a while ago and they were only there for about a week.

I just want to know if this video tape is rare. on it there is the CGI scenes from Abe's Exodus and extra CGI footage with a Mudoken reporting the story.

here are some photos of the video i took:

It is really rare, but it's content is available online here:

I'm not sure how many were made but definitely not that much

You wouldn't be able to scan the covers of the video, would you?

I don't think I've ever seen the cover propperly.

How long ago did you buy it?

I sure would ill scan it and put it on here i might also scan it really high resolution and try to get in contact with the owner of that oddworld archive website and give it to them. Although i am away from home at the moment so it will be in about 3 or 4 days.... till i can scan it. Does anyone know if the owner of that previous oddworld achieve link has an account on the forums?

How long ago did you buy it?

It was about two years after the release of Abes Exodus. If anyone reading lives in sydney Australia i got it from bankstown dicksmith electronics and they never had it on display but they had a small tv playing it and i asked about it and they had 2 out back! i only got one shame. Get this also a week prior they had an Oddworld Abes Oddysee one and i dont know why i never bought it. It was only $15 and i still regret not buying it.

Does anyone know what this video would be worth?

Xavier 04-14-2009 05:44 AM

I'm a guy from the oddworld archive :p

anyway I think you can easily sell it for $50 (us)

Crashpunk 04-14-2009 09:02 AM

Woah thats amazing, never seen that before!
You should keep it forever!!

Disgruntled Intern 04-14-2009 09:13 AM

Ha.

Crashpunk 04-14-2009 09:19 AM

:fuzconf:

Huh?

Anyways, is there any on sale?

OddjobAbe 04-14-2009 09:23 AM

A very intricate sentence, Crashpunk. Reading it makes me feel stupid, as I am not capable of such excellent use of the English language.

EDIT: Crashpunk's original post:

By the way, does anyone else see an asian face instead of a straight face when people use odd signs like that?

You very intricate sentence? Okay.

Crashpunk 04-14-2009 09:36 AM

oh shit what have i said

HAHAHAHAAA

OANST 04-14-2009 10:42 AM

Yeah. It's pretty freakin' rare. Email Cullen Heath. He'll give you a couple hundred dollars for it.

Xavier 04-14-2009 10:45 AM

yeah, if you want to sell it, it's probably the right person to cash in a maximum

Jordan 04-14-2009 10:47 AM

Give it to me and you'll get a hair from my head. That is way more rare than some Oddworld tape.

Crashpunk 04-14-2009 11:01 AM

Only if the hair is made out pure solic Gold!

I fail to see how you misinterpreted that post.

BudTheMud 04-15-2009 01:20 AM

I dont know Oddworlds number....lol :D

Xavier 04-15-2009 02:38 AM

Even if you had it, I doubt OWI would sell you one...

alf's brother's mate 04-15-2009 03:21 AM

You gonna just ask the secretary to give you a copy of a random video that they probably don't even know exists anymore?
