Thanks Dawgstudent for signing me up during the freeze out period (no pun intended).
I read the board on occasion and noticed Shadow34's thread about receiving a few hundred VHS tapes. I wanted to let y'all know about a side project that I have converting VHS tapes to DVD. It's a way to earn a bit extra spending money while in school.
My prices are as follows:
$8 - per VHS tape up to 2 hrs
$2 - per hour of tape beyond 2hrs
$2 - per tape for editing out commercials
$3 - per additional DVD copy (3 copies max per VHS tape)
I will also negotiate bulk prices if you have 10+ tapes.
I started this a year ago as a way to convert my brother's old high school tapes for his birthday. I enjoyed it and had the equipment, so I continued doing it mostly just by word of mouth. But Shadow's thread provided me with a great opportunity to get the word out.
By the way, CVS charges $19.99/per tape and won't edit out commercials. Just for a price comparison.
If you are interested, email me at [email protected]. I won't discriminate against MSU videos (but if you send me an Egg Bowl that y'all won, I might add a $10,000 service fee.)
please se spread the word if you know of anyone that has talked about converting their old tapes but have never done so. It'll help me limit the number of student loans for the next few years.
