    Default Does anyone still use or buy VHS

    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.

    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,

    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.
