Who has bought a VCR recently? The only people who are likely to have
a working vcr today are those who so infrequently use it that it won't
be a great loss.

I bought one the other day...at a Goodwill store. It was marked $5.99,
but had a blue price tag. Blue tags were half price that day. It took
a little cleaning; but works just fine....
