@Queendragonfly That is does, my baby cousin, I was 19 when she was born, decided at the age of three that my uncle's VCR was hungry, and proceeded to push a peeled banana through the slot, a $450 four head hifi that he bought eight years earlier.
@CestManan Our local Goodwill liquidated all of their VHS titles a couple of years ago for one day only, 10/$1, it was like black friday for a bunch of us X'ers and Boomers, as well as some older Millennials looking for Disney orange tape classics. I got about 15 or 16 movies out of the fray, including that E.T.
@NativePortlander1970 Our goodwills are still cluttered with them. I am surprised that beyond 2020 or even 2015 that there are still so many VHS out there. I mean hell even DVD's are out of style. I go to goodwill on any given day and there is this huge selection of DVD players collecting dust. When I see some fancy DVD player for $15 on the shelf I cannot help but think, "Somebody is probably still paying for this thing on credit."
The cycle of electronics - when new, some people just cannot afford it. When old, junk stores cannot even give it away.
