BlearyEyedBear 4,148 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Ok so I've got a box full of these sitting in the spare room, but don't just wanna chuck them away. I'm having a clear out and haven't got the space any more. I must have pretty much nearly every official video released, plus a few matches recorded off the telly, such as cup finals and such. There's a ton of Gers footage there from the mid-to-late 80s right through to the early 00s. Just fire me a wee message if you wanna come and pick them up.

I tried offering them to the local supporter's club, but they don't even have a VHS player any more. I'm afraid they've all gotta go in one fell swoop, don't care about money, would rather have the space. If no interest then it's off to the skip they go, which would be a shame.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Nobody wants any type of VHS video these days, well not enough to go hunting for them. The charity shops don't even want them. I'll be moving soon and I had to get rid of all my useless rubbish, so I binned my combi TV/Video player and I'm currently taking all the recyclable stuff to the recycling dump. They don't even accept the video itself to recycle, but the plastic boxes can be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked around, but they all told me they need the floor space for the stuff that actually sells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
