What do you guys do with your old VHS tapes?

I'm contemplating putting the ones I've now got digitally stored, out for sale on some auction site. They take up too much darn space!

Hoping I might get like 50 nok (roughly 5?) a piece.

They're ALL in a box in the basement, within a crawl hole, of my parents house that they just sold!

I sold mine to a Video sales comany in the UK that buys private collection, only ended up getting ~?1 a tape though

But it was worth it to get rid of the damn things.

i just keep them in my locker until i?m dead. spend too much money on them tapes, ran around on stockexchanges like a lunatic, trading and buying and looking and fighting to get really rare ones only to sell them for a few ?s? no!!!
besides i like the look of those old vhs-boxes and tapes - this were FILMS, not some shitty, featureless CD-Roms....
aah, forget about it, i?m a hopeless nostalgic... :cry:

I have so Manny of these bastards that my apartment looks like a warehouse. Remember Stephen King in "Creepshow" well I feel as if video tape has consumed me.
The worse thing Is the non pre-recored tapes , I guess one day I'll go through them and throw them out.
I hate these VIDEOS!!!! :matrix:

I only have a few VHS now, but i some of my friends are VHS-whore... you know the type: really heavily into 70's and 80's b-movies, italian stuff mostly.

You got to admit A LOT of titles and gems are still only available on VHS... it somehow pisses me off to think of all the films these guys now have that are unavailable to me because i gave up on VHS

.. i know what you mean.

I have a friend who's a serious major collector, and sometimes he gives me a few original tapes he has 2 or more retail copies of
