    I see a box marked “Books.” They should be donated if the owners no longer want them. Your public library may conduct book fairs during the year and somebody will find a book that interests them while the library raises a little cash.

    I still have over 100 movie serials from ’30’s & ’40’s on vhs and many other movies (like “Plan From Outer Space” & “Santa Clause Conquers the Martians” old bad movies are great) and still have my tv with built in vhs player in the bedroom

    For me, putting stuff into storage means a trip to the basement. I don’t have a shed but would not store things from in my house in one if I did. The garage is where some things get stored, like lawn and garden equipment as well as my car. There seem to be a lot of folks who use their garage as a storage shed.

    Looking at a move in the near future, maybe we can get rid of a few things?

    If your going to put them in the shed or attic just throw them out, because they’re going to melt. And tapes degrade over time, they may not work anyway.

    There are businesses that will transfer your VHS and/or beta tapes to DVD. Check your phone book or google it.

    As other folks said, no sense storing them, as you’re on your way to being a hoarder. If you have any with content that you really want to keep and it can’t simply be repurchased/replaced in a new format (such as wedding or other family home video), get it transferred before you lose it.

    Yeah, that’s why my lawnmower and snowblower now have to sit outside.

    You remember the great debate? VHS or Beta?

    There are a number of VHS/DVD combination machines available at various prices. These are just players; ones which will transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs are much pricier and I don’t know anything about them. I found mine on Amazon, have had it 3 years or so, and it works fine. I have had some of the family event VHS tapes transferred to DVD, and as time and money allow, I will eventually have all of them done. As some above have mentioned, it’s not a good idea to store VHS tapes (or other media, for that matter) outside in a shed, or in a car trunk, etc., as they can indeed be destroyed by cold and heat.
