nah .. its cool and dry .. never had a problem in 20 years ..
i've been playing them lately and ones i taped 20 years ago are still good .. (oxidization and stretching at the beggining if the reels on a few .. but thats impossible to help. my tapes have had a longer shelf life than expected just by the virtue of how many i have .. (they sure dont get overplayed or mostreated ...) |

You realize that means you buy 450 movies a year. That's just ridiculous.

some years are a lot worse then that... but they arent all bought .. I was very fortunate enough to play volleyball with a guy who worked for a distributer. he gave me over 1000 tapes. i played baseball with a guy who's business was recycling tapes. he gave me about 2000. where things got out of hand were the laserdiscs i was buying on EBAY and the DVDs i buy - mostly used. i bought far more than 450 a year in the last couple of years ... which is why i've slowed to a crawl lately. I'll be lucky to buy 4 a month now. |

I had a few friends dump their vhs tapes on me when they completely switched to dvd, that's how I got about 500 of my old collection.
With my situation now I'm damn near buying anything I see.

I am sort of a bargain shopper myself, always looking around for a store getting rid of its old tapes cheap, etc. ...nothing like a cheap used tape...
Some movies I like to have good copies of, to keep, but a lot of movies I figure I'll only watch a couple of times for fun, and those are not so important. When I decide that I probably won't watch one again or could use some space, I generally give it to the thrift store down the street. |
