I have the entire TNG series on Columbia house VHS, 2 episodes/tape, 177 tapes. I don't know what to do with them. I tried to sell them locally but no one wanted them. Most of them are not opened still in cellephane. Maybe 2 have actually been watched. Talk about a white elephant!
What do I do with them?

If it was DVD I'd take them off your hands. But, my VCR is on it's way south and I'm not going to replace it when it goes. Sorry.

I love TNG but don't want to deal with VHS tapes anymore

In the First Contact, Picard used a Tommy Gun to kill two Borg.
Thanks!
i'm a treky, voyager is on right now, and i have all the movies on dvd from "the motion picture" to "nemesis"
Do those have 7 of 9 in them.
No. That was Voyager, and the Voyager series ruined Star Trek.

no voyager is actually good if you watch it more than once to draw a conclusion, now Enterprise that almost has no resemblance
Deep space 9 was the worst in my opinion.
I really like Enterprise, Scott Bacula does an outstanding job! - that is my favorite of the spinoffs. Of course TOS retains the #1 spot.
PS The problem with selling them is the shipping. They go for around $5 each on ebay plus shipping for CH singles. These would have to go in at least 3 boxes if not 4 or 5, probably cost at least $50 to ship them all.

DS9 was my favorite series, and I watched all of them (except Enterprise....didn't get that channel).
DS9 was a creative leap for the writers of Star Trek because it took away the whole "traveling" aspect. It was unique, and it, believe it or not, developed the overall Star Trek storyline farther than the rest of them could have.

DS9 had more continuity, once they encountered the Dominion most episodes actually followed past events.
TNG still mainly followed an "adventure of the week" format. But TNG is still my favorite series, possibly because I grew up with it

Should be pretty hefty.

Why don't you donate them to your local library or museum, and take the tax write off??

Sounds like the best suggestion. VHS is dead. A friend of mine has every single Star Trek on VHS and couldnt get $20 for over $1200 worth of tapes. Now that the remastered Original Series is out on HiDef the regular DVDs will prolly be going to be worth nothing.
maybe its the military blood in me, but the only way i cankeep up with s.trek is by the co's.

Anyplace but pukebay! [xx(][xx(][xx(]
A bit off topic:
Anyways; what gets me is why picard not just replacate a bunch of tommy guns and kill all the borg? Assuming the enterprise replacators were not working, he could possibly use the ones on the shuttlecrafts, or used bat'leths and other weapons like worf did when he cut off the borgs arms in space.
Janeway did come back from the future with advanced armor and transphasic torpedos. Why did picard not take care of the reman ship with a single shot or activate the armor is beyond me. Or even send a shuttle to enlist help for the armada at the other end of the spacial rift.
A bit of trivia:
The actor that played 'neelix' was the same guy in 'the island' that whos job seemed to ask "where do the tubes go".
What gets me is that a bullet worked at all, or a knife. The Borg's adaptive shields can handle antimatter and phasers and all sorts of hellish futuristic weapons, but can't stop a chunk of metal? I gurantee if that strategy was used, the would eventually adapt.
As for Picard in the abominable Insurrection, I would assume that Janeways futuristic toys were classified. Now why he was using PHOTON torpedoes as opposed to Quantum torpedoes is beyond me. Right about the time Voyager got lost and the war with the Dominion started they switched over, at least on DS9.

When I was a kid my brother and I would go to the library and check out 8MM films before Beta and VHS.
