Does anyone still use or buy VHS

[plantsfish]

I have around 100 VHS tapes. Should I even bother to list them? Does anyone still use and buy VHS?

Thanks.

Certain rare titles can go for hundreds of pounds, but run-of-the-mill stuff is landfill, alas.

I still play VHS and have also sold one or two.

Totally agree. When I was a VHS seller I only listed those made by small production companies.

My most popular were videos where the footage never made it to DVD or TV and footy videos which I sold to people in Europe.

My best tip is to dump any movie videos and check the prices of any others on 'the river' to see which are collectible.

I have a combo VHS/DVD player, I've had it a few years now, works great for playing my VHS collection of comedy and classic films, a lot better than the 'puter as I can play my UK DVDs on it, unlike the 'puter that refuses to recognize them.

So, to answer your question, yes, I buy VHS tapes (mostly classic films and comedies) if/when I can get a good deal on them.

Best wishes for many sales to all,

I got around 1,000 movies on vhs sitting my loft - box is too big and heavy to move so can throw them out!

Got about 2,000 vinyl albums up there too - aint got a clue what am gonna do with them!

Yes, I buy and play VHS

Even the VHS which are unusual are difficult to sell because of the high cost of postage.

I was told that if you take the tape out and shred it, it biodegrades and is a good mulch for tomatoes. It might have been a windup.
