@@SamshorrorNot always the case. I have some original late 90s DVDs and they're still as good as the day they came out. I think it's the care given and quality the product has that makes it last. I've also got original releases of VHS from the early days, as well as beta tapes and they're fine as well. Heat and moisture ruins a collection and when you learn the proper storage and care methods, then most of the time your collection will last. I remember the whole disc rot thing with low quality CDs from the 90s and early 2000s, but then again I still have those originals and they're also fine. Everything can fade and rot if given the chance, but care is the key.
@@HighwayGhost Storage and care has nothing to do with disc rot. It's not like tape or film. The discs just randomly deteriorate with time. Theres no predicting it or preventing it.
@@R3troZone I've noticed moisture and storage in carrying cases has a terrible effect on CDs... I've got albums from the first days of CDs and they look like the day they came out. Maybe it's certain products with lacking compounds? I've seen it more in cheaper brands.
Great video. But the majority don't keep them sealed and away. Could you do another video with used and open VHS tapes? I have Japanese classics opened and watched and 80s/90s wrestling and movie VHS tapes.
This is stupid I find sealed vhs all the time and open and watch them just found an Indiana Jones box set sealed wtf these tapes are not worth that much lol smh
Those were some lame ass VHS picks, those are all movies that can be found literally everywhere. I love looking for the ones that are hard to find anywhere else. Like Carnosaur 2, Outland, Fail Safe, Tom Clancy's Net Force and so on. Good video though, that was fun.
I just grabbed a top gun that is sealed....the one that sold for that money when compared to the other 20 that sold......seems like someone needs to wash their money..... I do have a mint....and I mean mint...Sealed T2. I plan on getting it graded next month. should be at least a 9.8 ....
Watching this video a year later, and I just checked ebay and I'm no longer seeing the crazy prices these tapes are selling for a year ago. Winning bids have reduced to a more realistic $300-$400 price range, and even that is pretty crazy.
@@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784 Not a scam at all , disney ones were , not these ,Heritage auctions has records of some of these tapes sealed going for 30 k plus , yes you got to pay high auction fee but who cares if they sell at that price right? Cheers!
Does anyone make videos highlighting UNGRADED shit?? I mean seriously this is ridiculous…Every channel is graded EVERYTHING. THE MAJORITY OF US DONT CARE ABOUT THIS GRADING CRAP MAN… WE WANT FAST SALES FOR FAST MONEY. We don’t want to deal with grading and the hassle and time with it all.
I get that. In my videos on most valuable cards, I actually do just look at ungraded items. I'll make that a requirement for my next VHS video. Thanks for the feedback!
Grading companies inflate prices to sell grading services and then basically live off people making videos or articles about how much everything sold for. It's unlikely that most of these tapes ever actually exchanged hands. There's a tendency for the same copies of things to pop back up all over the place. I think I actually sold that copy of "Top Gun" that was in here for like $8 prior to the grading companies coming on the scene. I highly doubt it would have went for the claimed price at auction without shill bidding. It took me months to sell it for $8.
I once sold a sealed Jason X tape for about $40 bucks. There's tons of less popular movies that can still be worth a little bit of money! Horror Movies and Animes could have their own separate lists. lol Crazy to think someone would drop that type of money on one.
I recently got back into collecting vhs movies and in my town i see lots of them at goodwill & st Vincent da paul vhs movies loose & others new sealed what are good titles to look for help me out.
@shanenice5380 I'm from a small town called eugene oregon where are you from yah its going to be a great day recently I pick up a nice 5inch black & white tv.
this is how the basic scam works - Fred & Barney are brothers - Fred puts his VHS tape on EBAY for a high price - Barney buys it .... Barney gives back the VHS tape to Fred - Fred gives back the money to Barney (everybodys even) .... but now, the fake price becomes real for a SUCKER !!
Pretty stupid when you're gonna have to pay a couple hundred bucks in eBay fees for selling something for a couple thousand dollars. So yeah that's not how it works but nice try.
ARE THESE PRICES FOR REAL, I REMEMBER ON EBAY WAS SELLING DISNEY BLACK DIAMOND VHS EDITION AND IT WAS BOGUS AND THEY WERE GOING FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, IT WAS ON THE NEWS, NEWSPAPER AND I DONT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE PRICES, YOU CAN GET THESE AT A FLEA MARKET OR A YARD SALE OR THRIFT STORE FOR LIKE 50 CENTS OR 4 FOR A $1.00, 😅😅😅
I dont know a single vhs collector who would pay more than a few bucks for any common title, even if its sealed. You’re falling for the same type of thing people fell for with the most common Disney clams.
Too bad rare disney ones go for a lot of money, especially when some listings don't have a best offer option, making them a tough pill to swallow for a logo hunter. Trust me, I been purchasing plenty of walt disney VHS tapes from Germany, Australia, Netherlands, etc. For a few months now.
I'm confused about the Disney VHS stuff...I have a box full of old Disney classics with many different labels including sets of black diamonds , signature series, diamonds, and so on but they are worth anything
Nothing at all rare or interesting here. Most would go unsold at ten bucks. There are outlier auctions for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the pictured auctions were full of shill bids or were money laundering operations.
I don't consider this a list of 50 because half of them are the same repeated titles. I want to see 50 different titles not 50 different prices. I would have grouped all the star wars saga together and then grouped all the rocky together etc. I know they went for different prices and different quality but still it is the same movie over and over again. You could have done a video on all the star wars videos and left it at that, then do a video on all the horror movies, etc.
I have almost 300 vhs that I’ve bought over the years since they came out and bought to watch instead of thinking “o I’ll keep for 20-30 in case the be worth something…now I might buy a vhs to complete a series in vhs that I already have disc…I like to have sets…now those may be sealed…although mine kept boxes in good condition over years and tapes are excellent…but I got to watch…to make a long an incomplete comment (I know to late, pls don’t hate)but you get the ideal😉
I've got the Original Star Wars Trilogy Box Set THX I believe (before George Lucas decided to change them for the worse) but it's Beta not VHS. I'll never watch the changed movies EVER. I wonder what it's worth, I probably only watch them 3 times max. Perfect condition stored in my closet.
Damage blue ray disc movies doesn't play at all yet damage vhs tapes proven it doesn't stop playing at all yet VCR player itself proven mode switch gets dirty and everything proven VCR players are the problem not the vhs tape itself now if you don't no what a mode switch is you can go online and say how clean out a mode switch in a VCR player everything will come up now you now there other ways getting vhs tapes for 10 dollars go on images am doing it myself and you make everything look like there's no other ways getting vhs tapes for 10 dollars yet I never go that what you're doing now that looks like you're doing it the wrong way

Crazy amounts of money for sealed VHS Tapes so how do you know when you do find a rare VHS in the wild what price guide do you go by when you put it up for auction and how many days also
I have an early release of Pinocchio that has the words pinocchio pink instead of red same way with the diamond outline behind his head . What do you think the value should be? What is a good tool to cross reference an error. I have the same sort of issue on the hunchback both errors are on the binder side. (Width) SIDE.
The all these videos are fake these videos sold millions of copies all these ones that you have on here are very easy to get did you ever look into that I have every single one of these be ages three or four different copies of each one these are fake buys
Just this year, I payed $56 for a VHS version of Bratz Rock Angelz the movie. Just so I can rip it and post it online. Since it’s a very late VHS release from 2005, the price was high.
@@justininthelou No, we don’t. Check out kandjhorror here on youtube. How many sealed tapes does he have? That’s who real collectors look up to, not people like VHS DNA. Vhs collectors have been around for a long time, this sealed fad is a recent trend. No one was grading tapes even five years ago. The real valuable tapes are titles you’ve never heard of.
