If You Have One Of These Old VHS Tapes It May Be Worth Over $1000

Do you have old VHS tapes gathering dust on a shelf? Maybe you’ve already cleared the space, and now they’re stored in the attic, forgotten. Hopefully, you didn’t throw them away, because some of them could be valuable.

Nowadays, when movies are released or re-released, directors often change or add scenes to the original version.

Some viewers don’t mind these updates, and some even enjoy them. But for others, the original version is more valuable and can be sold for a lot of money.

On eBay, certain VHS tapes are listed at incredibly high prices. For example, one copy of Beauty and the Beast is listed for $9,999.

The original movie didn’t include the song “Human Again” because it was cut to save space, but the 2002 special edition added it back in.

Disney tapes, in particular, might attract collectors for other reasons. A Reddit user, Reddit_Executive, suggests that the unique branding on the first releases of these tapes could increase their worth.

Some VHS and BetaMax tapes have a black diamond on the spine with Walt Disney’s signature on it.
