I was clearing off some shelves in my living room the other day, and, I stumbled across some video tapes.
Yes! VHS videos!
I had some of shows that I performed in as a child.
I can no longer watch them because I no longer have a vhs player.
I’m thinking about getting them transferred onto DVD!
Does anyone even use VHS players any more?
Are they obsolete?

At the thrift store I work at, we have a wall of VHS tapes. People buy them all the time, often in quantity.
When we get VHS players in, they sell fast too. Most must still work, as we have a very good return policy, and very few of them get returned.
Years ago I worked at a TV shop (several actually) repairing mostly TVs and VCRs. Back then, other than dirty heads (the gap gets plugged with magnetic debris from the tapes), the most common problem was degraded rubber parts. I’d think that would be a horrible issue by now, but perhaps the players that survived are the units that were originally equiped with better quality rubber parts.
