Packing up for the big move in 7 days time and found boxes and boxes of VHS videoes in the loft. Seeing as I have all the good ones on DVD now, where do these go? Would a Charity Shop want them? Would anyone want them? What do people normally do with theirs?

My sister runs a charity and still does a roaring trade on secondhand films through her charity shops. Apparently lots of people still use video recorders.

So give them to your local charity shop!

Is this a subtle way of seeing if any of us want any porn on video ?

In our house they seem to go on the bottom shelf in the living room.

GF's Mum keeps buying them from Charity Shops.

I know which thread you have been reading, I've just read the same one LMAO

Anyway, VHS Tapes burn well, but that's it these days, as for silicon heaven, I'm not aware of any silicon in a VHS Tape!?
