Best place to sell VHS

I'm sorting through some stuff and have quite a few old VHS that are naturally sitting unused in a cupboard. Aside from a car boot sales, where are the best places to try and sell these (I'm not too optimistic of making much but every penny counts I guess).

Has anyone tried to get rid of any through selling?

Thanks :)

    You will be lucky selling them at all even at a car boot you might get 20p tops, there isnt much of a market for vhs tapes now

    Charity shops will take them rather than you throwing them out. Every penny counts for them too!

    Yeah, I've jut spoken to a friend who volunteers at one and she said they still take them as some will go. Apart from the few pretty rare ones I have, think that's where they will go. Thanks :)
