Where can i sell my VHS tapes / cassettes ?

Basically i've got loadsa video tapes and cassettes at home and i was wondering if i could get rid of them for money rather than just throw them out. Does anyone know where i could sell them. Hopefully looking for 20+ per item.

Thanks in advance

    What do you mean 20+ per item?

    Check Amazon if you have any obscure VHS tapes where the programmes were never released on DVD, I have sold a couple in the past year for over £10. If they are basically just popular movies you might as well freecycle them or dump them not even charity shops want them anymore.

    The same applies to casettes, the odd ones can still be worth money on Amazon, maybe only a fe wpence, but the rest will be difficult to shift anywhere.

    Be interesting to see if anyone can come up with ideas, but I doubt it somehow.

    I took a load to a car boot sale, box sets, childrens and music and had them at 10 for £1.00 and never sold any.

    it does depend on the film.

    amazon will give you an idea ie if you see 200 sellers at 1p then give them to your local charity shop. if they are foreign language films or sport you may be able to sell them for a pound or more.

    20p, presumably...

    (Actually, video tapes have one feature over DVDs: they have a builtin memory of where you watched them up to the last time.)
