Do you have any VHS tapes accumulating dust on a shelf? Perhaps you have already taken back the area and they are now sitting in a long-forgotten attic.
Though it appears there might be a sizable market for some old tapes, hopefully you kept them.Adding or altering the film from the theatrical version is a common practice in modern directing for film releases and re-releases. For some, the original cut is well worth the high price, while others don’t mind or even like these changes.
This translates to tapes being listed at outrageous prices on eBay, such as a specific Beauty and the Beast tape that is listed for $9,999. The song “Human Again” was removed from the original Beauty and the Beast for space concerns and then added back to the 2002 special edition.
On the other hand, collectors may value Disney tapes more than others. Reddit user Reddit_Executive hypothesizes that these films may fetch a high price due to the distinctive branding on the original releases: Certain VHS and BetaMax tapes have a black diamond with Walt’s signature on the spine.
