Um, excuse me sir or madam, but are this viewable? If they aren't, that implies you are selling junk. I just threw out a VHS tape bcz it wouldn't play. I didn't put it on listia because that's against the rules friend. I would love to have that Matilda movie but not if the seller doesn't know it's condition. Could you please view it first?

I will take them to a friends house and check them all before i they are shipped. if they are junk, i will refund credits.

This is a great lot! It would be nice to know that they play without a bunch of lines zig-zagging on the screen or any broken video footage (blue screen issues are very common with VHS nowadays).

sorry, i wish i had a VCR to check them.

VHS, VHS-C, SVHS, Hi 8, Digital 8, and even DV all share one thing in common: they are magnetic media. And the trouble with magnetic charge ("remanence") is that it is fundamentally impermanent. But that's just the beginning of the trouble for video tape, for there is a long list of ways it can deteriorate:

Magnetic particles gradually lose their charge, in a process called remanence decay. The rate depends somewhat on the exact chemistry of the particles used in the tape, but in general if this happens, you can expect some color shift toward weaker hues and loss of detail overall.
Magnetic particles may be accidentally demagnetized. This can be from storing too near a magnetic source (like an audio loudspeaker) or even from the playback machine itself, whose heads can be become partically demagnetized if not maintained perfectly. With a poorly maintained VCR, every playback actually erases information from the tape!

The binder layer can become a sticky, unplayable mess. The binder's polymers will absorb water (in even a moderately humid environment), in a process known as hydrolysis, and eventually delaminate. Engineers often refer to this as sticky-shed syndrome. Trying to play an affected VHS, VHS-C, or other magnetic tape is an invitation to damage of both the tape and the playback machine.
The backing and substrate can become stretched, from multiple rewindings and playback. This causes tracking errors that can dramatically reduc
