Default What do people do with all their films on VHS?

Just sorting out a load of stuff in the house, and getting rid of the crap, and looked up at my VHS collection, unsure what the hell to do with it!

Probably like most, it varies from complete collections of Friends, through loads of classic 80s films etc

Loathed to throw them all away, and it would appear they aren't worth anything either..... do hospitals, kids hospices etc take VHS stuff, as it would seem a more worthy option than binning 250 videos?!

I've looked on Ebay, and they're not worth the hassle of even listing as none of them sell.

Charity shops may take them, but I've had one charity shop turn them down, as they take up too much space and don't sell.

If you do take them to a charity shop or a hospital, make sure you keep hold / destroy the ones where you're hanging out the back of your girlfriend / wife / boyfriend / dog / donkey..... etc etc

Your local hospital should take them, go into the kids ward and ask if they want to set up a table selling them for 50p each or whatever, in their waiting area

If by probably you mean most women or gay men, then yes.
