The first VCR released in 1977 cost $2087. Within years there were many models under $1000. By 1990 VCR technology had greatly improved (8 head, auto-cleaning, auto seek etc..) ― nevertheless the price had dropped dramatically and some models were available for less than $50. By 2000, VCRs where virtually gone from the market. They were tanks.
Do you remember your first VCR? I hope you didnt pay 2,000 for it 🙂
Just Me Being Me 
I totally remember these. Lots of people in my community didn’t buy VCRs until after 1986, because we’d rent them from Curtis Mathes on Friday nights. Good times. 🙂
