| They do sell a converter machine that converts your VHS tapes to DVD. Just FYI if you want to go that route. |

| Pawn shops take them. |

| Pay no attention to the smarmy responses. It depends on the VHS tape and whether or not it's hard to find. I just sold one tape on eBay for $80, so apparently someone still has a VHS player. Libraries that have book sales, such as the one in Arlington, will also take them as donations. |

It has always blown my mind that in the digital age, a stand-along TV recorder that did not require a monthly payment (which is what VHS was) is not available. You can get Tivo or DVR, but those require monthly service.
Complete bullshit. |

I have looked into recycling them- no one will do it because it is cost prohibitive... |

| I donated them to an afterschool program for children... along with my tube TV and the VHS player. |

| Since someone resurrected this thread, I'll jump in. We have a toddler. We buy VHS tapes all the time from Goodwill, and have bought at least two players there to play them. They are dirt cheap, and I don't have to worry about paying every time I want to show them to my daughter. Add to that that not ALL princess movies are on Netflix, and there you go. |

If you like I have a some Disney vhs tapes that you can have. If you have a PO Box or are local (Washington DC area) we can meet up and you can have them. |

| I give my 6 year old VHS tapes and a small screwdriver. He loves to unscrew the cover and pull the tape out. |

| I gave a box of them away on Craigslist Free. Win/Win |

I have one, and it's called a VCR, FYI. I wonder if there is some sort of online VHS tape swap website, much like book swaps? |
