If you have VHS tapes and they are collecting dust somewhere, perhaps on the attic, it’s time to look for them because they are worth lots of money. Yes, old tapes might now be having some market; a good market. Thanks to modern directorial practice for movie releases and re-releases who is now adding or editing the film from the theatrical version. Although some people have no problems with these changes or don’t enjoy them, others value the original cut, and to them, it’s worth an astronomical price.
This takes us to listings on eBay where some old tapes have astronomical prices like one particular old tape of the “Beauty and the Beast” that currently goes at $9,999. The first Beauty and the Beast film didn’t have the song “Human Again” since it was cut for space reasons. However, the song was added again in the 2002 special edition. But collectors find old Disney VHS tapes in particular, valuable because of some reasons. According to Reddit user Reddit_Executive, these movies could fetch a fortune given the specific branding on original releases. “There is a black diamond with Walt’s signature on it on the spines of some VHS (and even BetaMax). This was Disney’s first attempt to market their videos to homes. As such, some Disney collectors are convinced that these old tapes are worth a fortune.”
Although it’s possible that a number of old Disney VHS tapes are indeed worth something, more than a few movies in the list are actually going at much lesser prices. But, if you are still planning to get rid of your old VHS tapes, there is absolutely no harm if you do your research on their value.
There’s the news. So, think twice before dumping your old Disney VHS tapes or keeping them in an easy-to-forget place like the attic. If you are lucky, you’ll be smiling all the way to the bank; thanks to seemingly useless old Disney VHS tapes.
