Well, I'm going to "butt" into this as well...   If the OP 
were to sell the content of those tapes outright - then I 
would agree with you.  However the OP also stated in his for 
sale ad:

 >  I finally transferred them to CDs and don't need the VHS
tapes.

This states his intention to keep the content. The fact is 
that he is selling a copy-
AND retaining one. Giving him money under this is allowing 
him to "steal"
(at least some of) the value of the material- as it is 
irrelevant of which copy he sells.
Under United States copyright law - he does not have the 
right to do that. Copyright
means just that - the right to copy - and that right is 
reserved to the copyright owner.
If you're going to pay him for a copy - why not "demand" the 
CDs - at least that
could be considered "value added" (since you have no respect 
for intellectual property).

business.

I'm glad you're not my neighbor... if you saw my wife trying 
to burn down our house, you'd do nothing?
After all - it's HER house?


Sheeeesh
