The question is: should you take these with you to your new digs? While you might feel slightly sentimental at the sight of your VHS collection, it\u2019s not an excuse to lug them all the way to your new property with you. Here are four reasons why this is always a bad idea.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/preview.ibb.co\/eSSSNc\/House_icon_and_keys_i_Stock_000076528401_Small.jpg\" alt=\"house icon with keys next to it symbolising moving house without your vhs collection\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" border=\"0\" \/><\/center><b>It\u2019s Pointless<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a VHS player if you\u2019re to get any kind of use out of your old videotapes. If you don\u2019t have this \u2013 or if you\u2019re not prepared to spend valuable time trying to track one of these down \u2013 then what\u2019s the point of holding on to your old VHS? After all, if you want to watch the footage they hold then you can always transfer your old VHS to DVD.<\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s Expensive<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing to keep hold of your videotapes when they\u2019re not costing you money. However, it\u2019s a different matter altogether when you start forking out to keep hold of them. This is the reality that you\u2019ll face when you\u2019re having to pay for multiple trips to your new place because you\u2019ve insisted on bringing along your VHS.<\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s Counter-Productive<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Moving house is all about having a fresh start and embracing all things new. Seriously though, how can you completely look to the future if you\u2019re still holding on to a relic of the past? It\u2019s a bad start, especially when you consider that the VHS tape have probably already begun to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.video2dvdtransfers.co.uk\/blog\/2017\/10\/11\/four-ways-that-vhs-tapes-degrade-over-time \/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">degrade <\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>It\u2019s Inconvenient<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not forget that videotapes are rather bulky. In fact, you can probably wave goodbye to all your new storage space if you insist on cramming it with videotapes that you\u2019ll likely never be able to use again anyway.
