Red tape--videotape

robotech_masterOkay, I yanked the videos out of that box I was talking about. Just as I expected, it was all roaches (mostly dead ones) at the bottom. Thankfully, there's a garden hose with a spray novel hooked up to the neighbor's house, and he doesn't mind if I use it. Now the last of my "unsorted" videotapes are ready for a trip home.
Though it does raise a bit of a question. What do I do with all the rest of my videotapes? I have shelves that are full of them--slowly dwindling as my DVD collection grows and pushes them out, one by one. But that's still an awful lot of them, and as my folks say, there's only a limited amount of space in the house.
It's the same old problem. I don't want to lose or get rid of the stuff, because I might need it someday. And yet...there's just no place to put it. Even if I moved into a bigger house, I still don't know that there would be any place to put it. My folks still have stuff in storage on my Dad's mother's farm from when we lived in Jonesboro, fifteen years ago!
I've been thinking about selling some of the tapes on eBay, though I don't know for sure that I'd even get enough money out of them to cover the bother of putting up the listings and shipping them. For that matter, I seem to have a couple of tapes in my possession that actually belong to my grandfather. I wonder if he misses them.
I think I'll have to put off blathering about Buy Nothing Day until tomorrow, or later.
