Stargate videotapes

[wraithfodder]

Before everything came out on DVD, I taped SG1 all the time and still have all those tapes (mostly 2 hour mode) and wonder, is there a market? A home to be found for them?  I keep thinking back to videotapes left in the hallways at MediaWest*Con with "home wanted" signs. Me thinks videotapes are about as popular as pet rocks. Any ideas? I'm trying to reduce clutter.

You can try cragislist or freebay and see if anybody wants 'em. I don't recommend shipping them anywhere tho, cuz the cost of that is probably more than the tapes are worth.

Yeah, that's the trouble. I'm willing to probably give 'em up for free if someone pays for shipping, but with DVDs....

I ended up recently just throwing out a ton of old off-the-air VHS tapes. Nobody wanted them, me least of all...

Oh shudder. Dumping VHS tapes (with stuff on 'em) in a landfill is just *so* wrong (from an ecological point if nothing else). I'll have to find a home for 'em somewhere...

I've been giving old VHS tapes that I've replaced with DVDs (admittedly this is mostly movies) to elderly friends of my mother. These particular ladies don't have DVD players and new tapes are always welcome, especially if it's something that's low on swearing, graphic violence and nudity.

I'll probably do that if I can find someone to take them.
