I realize this thread is a year old now but just want to throw in my .02 VHS tapes can bring in more money than you think... at least certain ones. I would check each title on ebay and see what they've been selling for. There is a VHS collector market out there. There are literally thousands of movies on VHS that never made it onto dvd or any format (usually because the movies are horrible) so the only way to get that movie is to buy the vhs version. If you don't want to look up each title there are some genres that are more collectible than others, more specifically 80's horror movies, they've got their own subsect that collects them, you can always pick those out first then check on them. At one time I thought the same as most people, who would want VHS tapes, they're worthless!!!! But then I bought a storage unit at auction that was from an old video rental store that went out of business. I started doing some research as I literally had THOUSANDS of videos and all on vhs. Well, originally I paid $1,000 for this unit (my wife was pretty mad when she found out how much I paid for a bunch of worthless vhs tapes), as of this past weekend I've sold OVER $6,000 in vhs tapes and still have about $4,000-5,000 still left in my ebay store with videos selling almost daily (my wife was no longer mad as the money started coming in!). I've sold an old movie called "Zombie" for almost $60.00, a lot more for $40 +. I only listed videos that were worth $5.00 and up each (after shipping) and have sold hundreds so far. I am left with thousands of tapes that aren't worth as much but I have them lining my garage wall and whenever I have a yard sale I just sell them for 5/1.00. The more mainstream a movie, the more likely it is that it's not worth anything. If you've never heard of the movie before, the better chance it IS worth something. Oh, and just to add..majority of Disney movies are NOT worth anything. Seems most people (even me at one time) believe that all those old disneys are valuable, but that's the problem, when everyone thinks something is valuable it usually ends up making it not valuable (supply & demand, basic econ 101). Hope this helps some people out there, and if you have a copy of "Black Devil Doll from Hell" I'll take it off your hands for $20! lol I actually saw this movie sell for over $500 earlier this year
