We have 100 VCRs from olden days in a bookcase in our den and we are moving soon to smaller quarters

[CTyankee]

We no longer have the VCR player. What do we do with them?

They are VCRs of old, classic movies. 100 of the biggiies.

What do we do with them?

1. Local library? Call them. If nothing else, they might have a suggestion for a facility that could use them.

[Ocelot II]

2. If you really like any of them and want to watch them again, there are businesses

that will transfer them to DVD. Otherwise you could donate them to a library or a school.

3. You might check with your local veteran support groups

In some areas they collect donations.

4. VCR's or VCR Tapes?

A VCR is the machine that plays the tapes

[JoseBalow]

10. VHS tapes

[MiniMe]

12. Thanks, I figured it was the tapes.

[CurtEastPoint]

5. There are services and individuals who can convert a VHS tape to a digital file format or a DVD

[CTyankee]

6. Ah, that is the individual who will get them! My stepson is just the right guy!

7. People are worried that physical tapes of movies will disappear

So they collect them. Because the corporations have been canceling titles in order to take them off the books for taxes. I heard this from my cousin who is doing this.

8. Well since it's only a hundred VCR TAPES as opposed to 100 VCRS!! 👀

1) Bring them with you.

2) Purchase a VHS to DVD converter (sell it later on some marketplace)

ex: https://www.walmart.com/search?q=dvd%20recorder%20vcr%20combo&typeahead=dvd%20recorder%20vcr%20combo

3) Convert the films yourself

4) Enjoy your collection!!

Still have an image of a huge bookcase with 100 VCRs in it!

9. One more thing you should know ...

... video tape can degrade over time. Those decades-old tapes might not still be watchable.

[CTyankee]

11. Frankly, I thought the same thing. Time marches on! There's a reason we don't have them now:

we get more movie channels that we use and get a vast selection of these movies.

Plus, I don't wanna sit on my butt any longer than I do already...

13. All of us seniors have lived our entire lives with change

Going from VHS to streaming services was just one of the most recent adaptations we've learned to use.
