Recycle VHS porn tapes

[gar4on]

This is actually my first post to the forum and I want to apologize for already posting a thread like this.

I am moving to another state. I've been keeping a collection of porn VHS tapes with me for more than 10 years. I've been wanting to get rid of them, but I prefer responsible ways.

Maybe someone in this forum has interests in male solo pornography back in the 90s. If you do, please contact me. I am not looking for profit or monetary gains.

Almost forgot, I would appreciate any input you have on how I should recycle these.

OMG, I have the same thing. I'm cleaning out my closet and I have all this old porn on vhs that I don't know what to do with..

What's a VHS tape?

j/k my vcr broke so many years ago. I said 'fuck it' and put the tapes in a box somewhere.

Now get to work....

I can transfer VHS tapes to digital files and burn them to DVD. Exactly what VHS tapes do you have?

 

[Paws]

Convert them to digital media first with a TV card and according software!

Unless the video clips are already floating around the internet.

 

[FPNY]

huh, never thought of converting them. I hafta figure ot how to do it....i have tons of vintage porn on vhs....

 

[roadtripboy]

You may not even have to convert them. You may be able to record them with a simple free standing DVD recorder (the cheap kind you'll find at Walmart/Target).

(I hope that post doesn't break any rules here, if it does please delete it.)

Not sure if the link will work, but I made mine into end tables for my niece and she thinks they are fantastic.

I mashed my old VHS porn collection up and threw it out with the rubbish years ago. There's so much free stuff on the Net these days to keep my willy happy!

 

[bigdaddyhorse]

I was able to transfer all my family event VHS tapes to DVD using this program: http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/easy-vhs-to-dvd/standard/overview.html . It's available for both PC and Mac.

Also, people will pay top dollar for old porn (that is unavailable on DVD) in the adult listings section of eBay.

 

[roadtripboy]

This going to sound dumb. I know it's there, but I've never been able to find the adult listings section on Ebay. What's secret word to get to it?

You gotta register with Ebay and list that your of age in your profile and then it's...

It's the first option in the Everything Else category

To repeat - most or almost every tape is male solo. I could tell you the titles via PM if you want to know.

I am also thinking of e-bay, but I heard that you need to pay to put a listing.

I still watch Vhs tapes time to time

What about craigslist do they still have the Adult section?

Usually you only pay a fee if it sells. And how much you pay depends on how much it sells for I think. Personally I only put things on eBay if I think they will sell for $50 or more because it doesn't seem worth it otherwise.

Donate them to a museum

 

[storm-0]

If possible, check some local porn shops in your area; they may buy or trade them for store credits.

 

[wundersteve]

You can erase them and then donate the blank tapes to charities or schools. Although, that advice is a few years old. They have probably all gone digital by now. In which case, I would probably donate the tapes to a friend who would appreciate them, or throw them out.
