stavy asks:Video tape.

I have got crates of old videos. I don't know what to do with them. I tried selling them off in a garage type sale, for pennies but nobody wanted them. I offered them to three local charity shops who refused them saying they couldn't sell them. I don't want to just throw them away. Any ideas?

Re: Video Tape

Have you tried contacting the appropriate government agency for suggestions?

They'd probably have some ideas!

Would these be...

blank video tapes? If so, I guess I can understand no one wanting to buy them at a yard sale because video tape is almost obsolete now. Plus, the tape itself does not last as long as DVDs, from what I understand. But still...maybe you can try selling them on eBay.

RE: Video Tapes

I wonder if a nearby college might be able to use these in their art department?

Have you tried asking around?

got rid of them

a friend took them to a local car boot sale, and says he managed to sell them off for a few pennies.

So at least someone somewhere is using them.

Is recycling a possibility

It might be an idea to try and take the tapes to a recycling depot. You won't get any money for them, but least they be recycled.

As video on tape grows obsolete...

...interestingly there are some avant-garde musicians who use the medium for audio only, after all, you can get two hours of stereo music on one of those suckers. Ask your strangest musician friend.
