My personal view that such instructional videos at best can give
only the most basic of introductions and has value only to the extent of
giving a
person some "idea" of how sushi is made. Nevertheless I admit there has been
a market for such things. However today, you can find multiple versions of
such instructional videos on youtube for free. Plus, from my own experience
VHS tapes even if in good clean condition show quality deterioration in
10-15
years.You could concievably convert them all to DVD but I doubt you'll get
your
money back. My opinion- sell them for whatever you can get. Otherwise they
are trash.
Sorry I can't be more encouraging.
