Got VHS tapes collecting dust on a shelf somewhere? Maybe you already reclaimed the space and they\u2019re sitting in an attic long-forgotten. Hopefully you didn\u2019t throw them out,<\/p>\n
though, as it turns out there might be quite the market for some old tapes.<\/p>\n
Modern directorial practice for movie releases and re-releases tends to include adding or editing the film from the theatrical version.<\/p>\n
While some people don\u2019t mind or even enjoy these changes, for others, the original cut is worth a hefty price tag. This translates to listings on eBay for certain tapes at astronomical prices, like one particular Beauty and the Beast tape going for $9,999.<\/p>\n
The original Beauty and the Beast did not include the song \u201cHuman Again\u201d; it was cut for space reasons, then re-added to the 2002 special edition.<\/p>\n
However, Disney tapes in particular might be valuable<\/p>\n
to collectors for other reasons. Reddit user Reddit_Executive speculates that, because of the specific branding on original releases, these movies <\/p>\n
could go for quite a bit: \u201cOn the spines of some VHS (and BetaMax) tapes is a black diamond with Walt\u2019s signature on it.<\/p>\n
This was Disney\u2019s first attempt to market their videos to homes. Because of this, certain Disney collectors are convinced that these VHS tapes are worth something.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s possible some tapes are indeed worth quite a bit, many of the movies listed are actually selling for much less. <\/p>\n
Still, if your plan for your old VHS tapes begins and ends with \u201ctrash them,\u201d there\u2019s no harm in doing your research on what they might be worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
