do people still buy videos

Dont waste your time , chuck them out , unless you have room in the car , we took maybe 100 to 2 big boot saless and asked 50p each , quite good titles and in good condition , sold maybe 1 , just not worth the hassle , seemed such a waste putting them in the skip .
i think the major problem is they deteriorate if not played for some time .

or when played too often

I've found disney VHS's sell. I sold a coupld for around £4/£5 before and others for just 99p (this was all on ebay/amazon)

I usually send my old videos to the charity shop, I wouldn't personally try to sell videos myself, as i've offered LOADS on my local freecycle group (over 3000 members) and had no interest, all mine were good disneys and top titles and couldnt give boxes of them for free!!!!

At my local boot sale you can't give them away, I always see people loading them into the back of their cars at the end of the day.

There are some VHS vids that fetch crazy prices on ebay (mainly tv series that aren't out on DVD, and pre-certification (before 1984) movies)- it's worth checking before you chuck them out!

iv got the rambo boxete,also few music vids eg the jam,madness,buzzcocks probly not worth a tupance,but to someone gold dust

Go on ebay and search price-highest first and you will see the ones worth
but do completed listings also in case its just someone trying it on with the price

to be 100% honest i have not personally purchased a video since the late 90's and this is the item i see the most of in charity shops and car boots.
but as someone pointed out if you have rarites they will sell for money,not top dollar but 3-5 quid.

I did O.K. with my videos at 50p each but we were near a caravan camp site with holiday cottages that had videos in them. People bought them for cheap entertainment I think. So maybe the holidays this summer will help to sell a few!

yes for my relatives, my nan has still got a vhs player!
