![]() This step does require other gear (a TV, a VHS tape, cables and a power source) that might not be easy to set up in a public parking lot. And test the VCR in person before you pay for it. Have cash ready and wait to pay until you’re actively picking up the VCR, don’t pay in advance or give out credit card information unless purchasing directly through a reputable online platform. Give them time to respond to your messages, and don’t ambush them with an absurdly low offer at the last minute. ![]() ![]() You’ll also have to meet them face-to-face if you want that VHS player, so be respectful. You’re dealing with (mostly) normal people – not retail chains or e-commerce sites that need your business. Vendors get TONS of inquiries, and avoiding a lot of back-and-forth messaging makes everyone’s lives easier. Let the seller know when you can meet, and make your counter-offer right away if you don’t want to pay full price. Scouring the internet for the right accessories can take all the fun out of your vintage VCR purchase. ![]() Ask if the VCR is still for sale and whether it includes accessories like cables. Sellers CAN hide their ratings in the Facebook Marketplace, but that’s another sign that you should steer clear. Avoid sellers with low ratings, and read their feedback from other buyers.
