Set up a website with a list of stuff you have, and what you are looking for, and the folk will come (tip: do not sell your tapes, as it is illegal to do so, b/c it implies that you own the copyright to the shows and you are making a profit off someone else's work).
On the nostalgia: It kills me when I hear younger kids say they never heard of the Old school videos from Rap City Like Public Enemy's "Attack of the living Baseheads" or Stetsasonics " All that Jazz". And I also have the first Yo! MTV Raps on tape.

Most of the old school rap videos can be seen on the VH1 Soul Channel, which is 24 hours of R&B and rap videos, past and present, w/o commerical interruption. However, the old school videos are commingled with the current videos, which means you have to catch them on a strictly "hit or miss" basis, however from experience I can tell you that they tend to air more frequently in the mid to late evening hours.
BTW, I have the Stetasonic "All That Jazz" video from Yo! MTV Raps that aired back in November 1988.
