For whatever reason, I still keep em around and will buy them at yardsales. You can get a crapload of them at yardsales.

I have a bunch. Just waiting for the day I finally break down and get a VHS to DVD burner.

ETA: I do have a working VCR though so they're not totally gathering dust.

I still have a Betamax. I'm not comfortable with new technology. VHS is going to have to earn my business. I'm taking a wait and see approach.

Just two weeks ago I threw away the last of my VHS tapes and VCR. Hadn't used it in so long I can't remember the last time. All it did was gather dust.

I've got Batman (1989), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Jurassic Park in VHS. Those are the only ones.

I have one of those in my sewing room. I had it to use for hurricanes and then I discovered that thrift shops sell VCR tapes for about $2 each and scooped up a bunch of Disney movies for the kids which they love.

It keeps them occupied and I never have to worry about them ruining or losing an expensive DVD.

I usually keep a VHS hooked up in my office. Comes in handy.

I have a shite load of VHS tapes at my parent's house. It's a bunch of those old Disney VHS boxes. I collected them for a little while.

Got rid of all of mine except for:

- Original StarWars Trilogy
- One of the Faces of Death
- Wedding Video
- The movie Sneakers from a rental store.
- 30 hours of taped news coverage from 9/11 on the day of the event.

I have a bunch of home videos on VHS as well as the 70's cartoons of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, and The Stand. That is my full VHS collection.
