the average life of a magnetic tape such as vhs is between 8 and 12 years, over this time quality will deteriorate, some will last longer if stored and not used but will still lose quality. i wouldnt consider vhs to be a good investment, i had some early 80`s vhs which i paid a fortune for at the time which went in the bin 15 years later as they were unwatchable.
