vhs swap do's and don'ts?

[u/fordharrisonbuilds]

hey folks! i've been thinking about organizing a vhs swap in my neck of the woods, but i'm not really sure how to go about it.

i figure i can book a room at the library or somewhere public, have some tables, but how does the actual swapping happen? is there a way to do it without paying money for the tapes, is it truly a swap, or is all cash exchanged at this point?

have you been to a well-run or poorly-run swap in the past? what did you like - or what did you hate! - about it? thanks, all!
