A home for collectors and traders of VHS tapes

Press play, remember and rewind

There's something a streaming service will never give you.

The weight of a videotape in your hand. The sleeve with its slightly faded cover art. The satisfying clunk of the cassette sliding into the deck. The hiss before the picture comes up, and then, suddenly, you're there.

Welcome to Streamless Video, a dedicated hub for everything VHS, based in Christchurch, New Zealand. I buy, sell and trade tapes, and I'm building a definitive resource for the format that defined a generation of home cinema.

Whether you're a serious collector hunting down a rare title, someone who's just rediscovered their parents' tape collection in the garage, or a curious newcomer who wants to know what all the fuss is about, you've come to the right place.

Follow along on Instagram and Letterboxd as I watch my way through my VHS collection.

No algorithms. No subscriptions. No buffering. Just tapes.
