Go Find Your Old Disney VHS Tapes, They Could Be Worth A Fortune!

You've probably boxed them up and tossed them in the attic. But you may want to get back up there and find them, because surprisingly they could be worth a whole lot of money! It turns out that there are rare editions of Disney movies. One of the most valuable Disney VHS tapes is Beauty and the Beast. They have sold for as much as $10,000 on eBay!




Apparently there are collectors out there who greatly value these old VHS gems, and certain editions are considered gold. Unusual artwork, rare defects and limited-edition VHS tapes are all considered valuable. One such feature is the black diamond on the VHS case reading “Disney Classics.” This stands for a certain edition of the VHS. Just having this logo on the tape can bring up to $250 bucks.




Some tapes might have the black diamond along with "A Walt Disney Classic" and Disney's signature. These can be worth thousands, condition pending. There was an edition of The Little Mermaid which sold for a whopping $6,000! It featured artwork, which later actually became banned. A palace turret was apparently said to appear too rude looking so they replaced the artwork.




Later editions of the VHS "Beauty and the Beast" did not have the song "Human Again" as it was cut. Another high dollar gem.
So if you haven't yet unloaded your VHS Disney tapes at a garage sale or thrift store, then start digging them back up and see if you strike any gold!

Wow.
I wish I didn't chuck things away.

I know my younger sister had a bunch of these. I've got her emptying the closets

We had pretty much the complete collection, but we just gave them away or dumped them when we moved to the US as they wouldn't work over here and to be honest, the boys wore them out.

I took loads of them doewn to the skip at the recyling centre about 6 months ago. Boo Hoo

Holy shit, my sister found her copy of "Beauty and the Beast," and it's a Black Diamond edition.

That's currently listed as high as $17,000 on eBay. With that kind of money she could pay off the debt she owes her college right now, plus get a decent-running car.

So Didge, thanks for posting this, you probably just changed her life.

that is awesome ben hope she gets top dollar

AS LONG AS their tapes are still in "mint" or "good" condition, of course...

A lot of tapes have probably been ''watched to death" by now..

Probably also a lot of people out there wishing they had taken better care of their old VHS tapes ?

Thanks! I will say, times have been pretty rough for her lately. This could really change things.

No problem Ben and it sounds like she really could do with the money, so that really has made my day.
But when you think about it, its really down to you that has changed her life, as without this forum, i would have not been here and not have posted the link, so you certainly derserve the credit for that to.
 She must have been over the moon...

You should've stole it in the middle of the night.....

Let us know if she sells it and how much she got. If it's a few thousand tell her I send my bestest regards....etc etc

Just a follow up, to see Ben if your sister ended up with a good sale on the net for the Video?

She’s waiting to see if any of the really high-priced tapes sell before jumping in, but she’s ready to list it!
