Would places like movie retailers buy it to play in their stores, maybe?

More like a fansub done either from the Japanese VHS or LD, using an Amiga or Atari with a genlock to add subtitles layer and record them on VHS.

Typically, for French Anime conventions in the 90's, I would convert a LD + subtitles to S-VHS and later make VHS copies from the S-VHS "master".
We only did this for titles not commercially available in Europe.

The bad xerox'ed cover screams "home-made".

Rein-O and Admin are correct. This is a fansub that has been repackaged by a bootlegger con slug, probably 1989-1994. I wouldn’t be surprised if when played it contained a message from the fansub group that said something to the effect of “never pay for this”.

You have garbage, sorry. :) But I guess even this is a sort of relic of the past and interesting in its own way now that there aren’t 20 table fulls of these things at Detroit/Chicago Comic Con, etc. Actual anime cons rarely tolerated these things but the mainstream comic cons did and they sold like crazy.
