Are VHS tapes worth anything in the digital era? Yes they are worth quite a bit of money if you have a wanted movie and if the tape is still sealed.
There’s a rise in collectors, in their middle age, who grew up watching these movies and are now driving the value up of old VHS tapes. The collector market is super hot for VHS tapes and movie titles of blockbuster hits back in the 70s, 80s and early 90s.
These following unopened VHS tapes have sold for thousands of dollars at auctions and on EBay.
• Top Gun
• Indiana Jones movies
• Star Wars movies
• Back to the Future movies
• Jaws
• Ghostbusters movies
• Commando
• Jurassic Park
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
• The Big Lebowski
• Kill Bill Volume 1
• Disney Black Diamond edition movies
Some hard to find titles and other blockbusters are also worth a lot of money. If a tape is in great condition, both the VHS tape itself and the packaging, then if could still be worth hundreds of dollars. It all depends on how many copies are in the wild and how desirable the movie is.
