SHERWOOD — A vendor at a local flea market has a great deal for you — if what you’re looking for is multiple copies of an action movie on VHS cassettes.
Dale Tweel, a regular fixture at Island flea markets, has a stack of 15 copies of the mid-90s action movie Under Siege 2 that he is selling for $1 each.
You can’t get 15 copies of the same movie [on VHS] for less!

“Or all 15 for $10,” adds Tweel. “It’s a good deal. You can’t get 15 copies of the same movie for less,” says Tweel, who was apparently not aware of the other several tables selling similar merchandise around him.
“I think it’s a great place to start if you wanted to open up a retro video rental store. You know, like the kids would do. Open it right up, offer popcorn, old movies, that sort of stuff. Guaranteed to make a profit.”
“But you’ll need movies to rent. That’s where [15 copies of Under Siege 2] comes in.”
When asked if he would ever consider taking his own advice and opening his own retro video store, Tweel ignored the question and offered 10 copies of Dumb and Dumber on VHS for $7.
