Like Vinyl, VHS is Making a Small Comeback

Vinyl albums began to see a small surge again in 2007, and by 2010 vinyl sales began growing quickly. Fast forward to 2023, vinyl has come back so strong bands are now releasing vinyl copies of their new albums and sometimes going back to their catalog and re-releasing vinyl for anniversary releases.

VHS may now be at that stage vinyl was in 2007, and making a small comeback. What is crazy, just last week my son and I stopped into one of those second-hand movies and video game stores to try and find some old horror movies and when I got to the end of the rack I noticed a bunch of VHS tapes of old movies I grew up on and thought, I have seen any of those in years.

I actually have an old box of some of my favorite movies on VHS and rather than replace them with DVDs or Blu-Rays, I may see if I can find an old VCR that is in good shape

Looking for or Wanting to Sell VHS Tapes in West Michigan?

It just goes to show you that people love nostalgia because there is a place in Muskegon that is thriving in selling VHS tapes, vinyl, CDs, DVDs, video games, and Blu-Rays and they are called Spin City/Static Tape.

Spin City/Static Tape also have old tube TVs, some with the VCR or DVD player built in, and yes they have VCRs for sale. Next time I go fish Muskegon Lake, I will be stopping in before or after my fishing to see if I can get a VCR.

If you would like to visit Spin City/Static Tape and maybe off a few old VHS movies or pick up some to add to your collection, they are in the Lakes Mall at 5600 Harvey St. in Muskegon. They are open seven days a week Monday through Saturday 11 am to 7 pm and Sunday Noon to 5 pm.
