 I got 'em at a Discount Video that's closing. They have plenty more wrestling tapes so I might get my sister to take me there when she takes me shopping for my Christmas present and get some more. They're only 5 a peice so.  |

They have little to no value because they are VHS. But it's probably worth it considering they are good shows. Plus, if you have a VHS to DVD converter, you could do that? Although maybe there is some sort of copyright thing that prevents it.

Tbh, I bought them just to add to my collection of tapes/dvds. I don't care about the value of them since I'll probally have them forever.

well, having a vhs to dvd converter will greatly improve the lifespan of the shows as well as the lines tapes get over time. I personally don't own one, know where to find one, or how the hell I would be able to use it.  edit: Since you have a dvd/vhs player combo, I've read that you can easily make the vhs to dvd switch if your player has a recording option and some blank dvd disks |

It saddens me that hardly anyone uses VCRs anymore.
I've got a fairly old one which I constantly use to watch old tapes, wrestling and non-wrestling related, and I've always loved VHS tapes. I started collecting 90s WWF tapes a few years back but I don't buy too many these days; you got a nice selection of ppvs, although KOTR 1995 is one of the worst WWF ppvs of all time. WMXIV is a great one, though.
I also miss the old mid-90s Royal Rumble logo, for some reason.

I wouldn't have use for the WM tape since I have it recorded from when it aired and on dvd. But the rest of those are awesome pick ups for 5 bucks.
I'm jealous. There aren't many places that sell old stuff like that and the ones that do only sell Attitude Era stuff which I have no use for since I own what I want.

Valuable maybe because of the non censored logos and WWFs maybe?

Good find man.
I still rock my vhs/dvd combo too. I can record from dvd to tape, but not the other way around. I have LOADS of vhs still and will keep them as long as they last. The one thing i love about vhs, they dont scratch and skip/stop in random areas.

The one thing i love about vhs, they dont scratch and skip/stop in random areas. Same here. I have so many VHS tapes. WWF Home Videos and all kinds of WWF and WCW PPVs so I never plan on giving them up. Though some are beginning to show their age so one day I'm going to make new copies or something. And yes. I swear thats one of the big reasons why I hate DVD and miss VHS. Damn DVDs are easy to  up and i hate it so much. I hate disk technology actually. Cds, Video Games, DVDs all get messed up easily and without you doing anything out of the norm. The only thing VHS can do is get stuck in the VCR but other than that they last. |

Awesome deal! I used to hit up all the video stores around here asking them to sell me their old WWF videos. I got a lot of good deals that way.
