Do you have old VHS tapes gathering dust? They might be worth more than you think! While many people have long forgotten or discarded their VHS collections, there’s a market for certain tapes, especially original cuts of movies.
Directors often make changes for re-releases, and some fans are willing to pay big for the original versions.
For example, a VHS copy of Beauty and the Beast recently sold for $9,999. The original version didn’t include the song “Human Again,” which was later added in a 2002 re-release. Collectors are particularly interested in rare Disney tapes, like those with specific branding.
Some original Disney VHS tapes are sought after because they feature a black diamond logo with Walt Disney’s signature on the spine. These unique details can make a VHS even more valuable to collectors. So, before you toss those old tapes, they might be worth checking out!
