Try pulling out all the tape - that might fit inside a DVD case and you
can keep just one VHS case with the reels inside to wind the tape back
onto whenever you want to watch them.  ;-)

The real problem with the VHS tapes is finding a new player to watch them
on. The greedy makers are still charging rather ridiculous amounts for VHS
players. Here in New Zealand you can buy a DVD player for about NZ$50, but
buying something to play a VHS tape will set you back at least NZ$250 for
a VHS / DVD player combo box (if you can actually find one in any physical
shop) or almost twice that for a VHS / DVD recorder combo box.   :-(
