Unless you have something very obscure on VHS,then it's usually easier to find a torrent or other digital copy to download (you may need to join a private site to obtain it, though).

This^a best mate lives in Beijing and to be quite frank, what I can't find online, he generally can, for next to nothing out there. My VHS tapes will be headed for the bin I guess, no reason to keep them

Having said that,I'm a member of a couple of private torrent sites that specialize in UK TV, and they dig up some amazing rarities sourced from people's personal video collections...some of it the BBC didn't even have a copy of before unearthing these copies (they wiped a lot of archive material up until the '80s).
So it's worth checking what's on them before you junk your video collection.

A cursory search indicates that this is already out there,but as someone who appreciates Star Wars Holiday Special, which only exists in its current form because some people had video recorders in 1978, I'd say it's still worth checking out which is the better-quality version.
