VHS cassettes

i have about 400 DVDs, each having 1, 2, or 3 movies, so, I figure around 800 movies. I considered posting just such an ad on these, maybe 50 at a time. There is only one hangup, they were all recorded off cable television, leading to copyright infringement if I sell them.
I recorded them in prep for moving to OK from TN about 6 years ago, realizing TV reception here was minimal. I got cable installed there just for this purpose, and wore out two DVD recorders before I moved, keeping them recording movie after movie(nothing past an R rating) sometimes day and night. 800 movies seems like a lot, but watch one or two a night for a couple years and they start to get old

Just trash them and be done.

well, actually, I could still give them away, and have considered posting on Freecycle

haha! that's good to know. Since I've already given my niece a few stacks of them, guess I'd better be really nice to her eh ; )
