Seriously? VCRs are expensive again

[NewSilkTurtle]

I have a high-end Hitachi machine that's got a few minor problems, if you're handy with minor electronic repairs you could make it work with a bit of effort. Yours for $5 plus shipping if you want it, send me a PM.

Do they still sell vcr's at retail stores or is this a speciality internet store type of thing?

Rip all of them and burn them to dvds for him for Christmas

Right... This definitely makes more sense than buying a $75 VHS player...

I would tend to believe they are more expensive now than 5 years ago more because of there being limited demand over complexity of manufacturing. They were selling for $30 a few years ago.

You don't understand supply and demand do you? Here's a clue: Less demand = lower prices all else being equal. What you meant was, limited supply.

I have a near brand new Sony in my storage closet I'd be happy to give you if you were nearby. I never use it anymore.
