I worked in Marketing at CBS/Fox Video and was responsible for the Coffin shaped box for Fright Night 2. But we weren’t the first - another company released a coffin shaped box for one of their releases ( can’t recall what title) so we just copied the idea. Harder to find these days without faded print for the title on the front. We used flouro ink which fades over time in daylight. Also - Alligator is a fun flick - although very dated. An official game was released at the time by Ideal Toys which was similar in concept to the JAWS game they released a few years earlier.
Hey the other coffin is Mortuary Academy, it's way more rarer, ive only seen 2 copies. I have both copies. I've seen Fright Night 2 perfect condition go for $800. $300 is bang on now though.
I spent nearly 4 decades playing in arcade come video stores and still have many memories of certain dust jackets on certain vhs tapes, Fright night with the face above the house, Goulies toilet seat, Rolling Thunder, Cherry 2000, Annialators, the Fly, Ripper with leather mask cover? American Sunshine not on vhs but from memory as a boy, Cobra, wwf and many more, cheers for the contribution 👑🇳🇿👉🍺
Hey Matt that wiggles video was my listing haha i paid $2 a piece for about 15 wiggles VHS (Normally i won't Pay that for a vhs) i also just sold captain feathersword for $45
@TheAussieFlipper hahaha not any more mate just a few odd 80s horror movies, I almost died when the no1 on your top vhs list was that video, I had a stuffed dust jacket on it tho and threw it out ffs,kept the vid and original case luckily. I do however have a 20ft container of streetwear, Rugby/Leauge sports gear which fetches massive prices here atmo (any provincial team jersey from the 80s up in good nick $250-1400 Deadstock tagged mint $650-$2400 all day including aussie teams) books ,collectibles etc mostly mens gear, your channel and journey is giving me awesome tips on how to go about sourcing and selling etc and from watching im going to look into consoles and games as nz has lots of good stuff still out there, I work full time but am going to hopefully side hustle my way to financial independence, Cheers mate good luck out there to you and Courtney, love the channel and stoked it's aussie content more than American as finding the old billabong gear etc is way more relatable, Onya👉🍺🫡🇭🇲🇳🇿🏝
Love The Ferals! I've got a copy I've been meaning to sell myself. About the one you showed, looks like that seller currently still has it listed, and if you look at history it was sold twice within a few days of each other. What's going on there?
I've personally never done grading's of VHS before so I'm not too sure here. Hopefully someone in the comments can jump in and help out here :) thanks for watching!
Have you sold any VHS tapes? What’s been your best sale?

Man that's crazy! Marketing for CBS/Fox would have been a great gig!

I’ve sold a few. Mostly slow sell through, but there’s always a banger that’ll sell instantly. Thanks for the free info! Subscribed!! 😂
My guy!
I recently picked up Halloween 2 at a garage sale for 50 cents, just sold it for $200 not long ago. Great vid man.
The Driller Killer is an awesome flick!
I’d never heard of it! Looks wild
How would you ship an Xbox just wondering?
Large amount of bubble wrap in a box with butchers paper in fill for the gaps!
Tricked me normally you upload in the evening
I like to keep you guys on your toes!
One of my best thrift hauls was 18 months ago in NEWcastle . Spent $11. On some old Clamshells. All sold for $800.00 after a few months. A good return
I've seen alligator as a kid. It's good.

I found twisted nightmare today for $1 I see there going for around $50-$100 and sold for around $80
great find!
Can't believe I never heard of that Ferals show
Such a good show!! One of my favs growing up
With VHS you have to make sure there is no mold on the tape. If they've been stored in a moist area for many years it can be an issue.
Great point
The quality of videos degrade over time, despite storage. Any fixes?
Holy crap mate thank you for this video I have a child’s play and the holoween 2 lol
Wooohooo!! Big $$$
I have seen Alligator. Great movie😊
I have all Disney's black Dimond. Would like to sell them all. Been collecting for years. What can I get for all of them at one time?
They ended up not being worth like anything maybe 20$ if your lucky maybe more if they're sealed
Love The Ferals! I've got a copy I've been meaning to sell myself. About the one you showed, looks like that seller currently still has it listed, and if you look at history it was sold twice within a few days of each other. What's going on there?
Yeah not too sure
its crazy ferals only went for 30 eps thought it ran for years haha
Right!
An 8.5 graded Nukie goes for $80,000. That's where the real money is.
Non graded top 10 only
I sold a vhs tape from 1979 called Zombie Flesh Eaters for $216.00, it cost me $3 from Salvos. That’s a win!!!
That’s a massive win! Congrats man!
Cant believe people still buy VHS tapes
Exactly right horror and kids VHS
Great video Matt

Hey Matt, how do you get VHS graded? I have a pokemon collection on VHS, picked up for free.
