I was at a yard sale last summer and a woman asked me if I wanted 4 boxes of vhs tapes and my first reaction was NO WAY. She asked me nicely as she needed to get rid of everything. I gave her $10 even though she didn't want it. I let them sit for a few months at my mothers home in the basement. I finally started going through them and wouldn't you know I had a sealed Star Wars Red Label. Looked it up and it was going for about $7k. I ended up getting $3.5k and I kind of wish I held out a bit longer, but oh well! Love your content!!!!
SWEEEEET! I love it. VHS is DA BOMB right now. Have to throw in those YOUTHFUL words now and then.
If it was first edition, but no red seal it would have not sold for more ?
@@liebepug7757 the first edition/release came out in 1982 and did not have the 'red label' and is the most valuable right now. you can get $40k to 70k for one sealed in excellent condition and graded. from 1984 to 1986 it was re-released in two different red label packagings (which is what it sounds like Jersey Picker had), those are much less valuable but still of very nice value. All the releases after that aren't worth much yet.
I sell VHS on ebay. I had to learn a lot. 1st Release is the most valuable so check the "Package & Design" copyright date on the box, if that is the same or really close to the copyright date for the movie's release, then it's likely 1st release. The watermark is important because anyone can reseal a tape and it happens a lot so be careful. The watermark proves it was factory sealed.
It still blows my mind how much some sealed VHS tapes can go for. I recently found a bunch at an estate sale and was lucky enough to be the first pair of eyes on them. Scored a couple red HiFi label Star Wars tapes...SEALED. Sold one already - had a slight flaw to the seal but still made $$$. The other is still up. Takes a while to sell the high dollar items sometimes. Thanks for the tip on the ET tape. ^_^
Save a star wars for me
Hi Mike, what outlet did the ET sell on? Ebay auctions or something else? Let me know please.
Thx
Oh my gosh! I wish I could find a Pink Floyd! Another great video. Thanks!
Check your comps,,Mca ones selling for 40 and others are 20..where do you get your prices from....?...
Condition and long term. I never price something like that at the prices that are low. I’ll sit and wait.
Probably still waiting with a price that high... good luck with your dreams
I just listed a Star Wars trilogy from 1995 sealed. I’m asking $40 + shipping. I noticed many others are asking in the thousands for this same set but I didn’t see any sold to support those prices. What do i look for?
There are subtle things on all the SEALED VHS tapes. Watermark and the year. Maybe no UPC code or UPC code. It's tricky, but they are out there.
"Just Keep Rollin' " - Seems like a good motto for you. T-shirts, mugs, etc.
Thanks Hippie Picker.
So, im curious about the whole watermark thing with these VHS tapes...why was it done to some and not all of them?
Do the watermarks have to do with the earliest production of the tapes and thats why you see it on some?
Pirating and fake tapes
Hi Mike! Another great video! I picked up an Olympus Infinity camera at an estate sale for a $1! When I saw it, I remembered you talking about these cameras. It still has the battery & film in it. Film advances & it takes pictures. Flash doesn’t work. I think because the battery is too weak. Going to buy a new one. Where do you find your batteries & do you sell your cameras with a battery? Thanks for the great tips! 😄
I buy them on amazon. Local stores have them too. No I don’t ship a battery with the camera.
@@goldenstatepicker Thanks so much! Btw, I suffered all my life with allergies. I had a little wheeze too. Eventually, I had a bad asthma attack on a back ride, not knowing I had allergy induced asthma. I was miserable for years. Also, the left side of my sinus was blocked & I had to have surgery. I finally saw an allergist again, had another scratch test & religiously had five years of allergy shots. It wasn’t a big deal for me because the nurse at my work gave me the shots. Anyway, I see how miserable you are with your allergies. Any kind of wheeze is asthma. I highly recommend the allergy shots! I’ve felt great for the past five years & maybe have to use my inhaler a couple of times a year.👍
…bike ride…lol!
11:55 I take out sniffles, really can't stand the "ums" and sniffles. My mother in law just tossed out 200 kid video tapes not knowing, of course I grabbed them all - thanks for this garage shot video.
Mike, thanks for your earlier tip on Bibles. I just sold another. Not life changing money, but turned $1 into $45. I've probably sold 20 bibles since I learned the tip from you, anywhere from $25 to $150. Similar to your strategy, I've done the "hero" tactic, others ask $200 and their item doesn't sell, so I come in as a hero at $50. Bang, mine sells.
Nice! Glad to hear you got some value from my channel
Great video! I have been selling some religious books lately. Some of those are great money!
Bibles and religious books are super easy to sell. Nice to see you are selling some.
Hey Mike, I found a lot of 8 Disney sealed VHS tapes at a garage sale. As a lot they were only worth $60, I'll take it! Important thing is, Thanks to you TH-cam resellers, I'm looking out.
They are out there and I know I will eventually find another GRAIL and make a nice bit of change.
I just sold the Disney movie club exclusive cars vhs for 1250. I have chicken little which is apparently even more rare and I can’t find any price guides on it. No sold listings or active ones any where. Any idea what I should price it at? Thanks!
Try starting it at an auction and see if there is any interest. Set your starting price at would you think it might go for. I just don’t know in many of them. Best wishes
Wow! Nice
@@goldenstatepicker I’ll do that I think. I was thinking about getting it graded even though it’s not sealed because there’s really not many of them out there. Not for sale anyways. Thanks for the response!
@@jaradmcknight5031 grading is taking a long time these days
@@goldenstatepicker yeah but I’m willing to pay extra and wait. This is apparently a super rare movie and well worth the time and effort.
I got a ET sealed tape BETA with watermarks MCA on the side is it worth anything?
Could be. Look at the year etc. really look it over.
@@goldenstatepicker Et on Betamax was only released day and date with the VHS in October of '88. VHs had numerous other variants in later years, but Beta didn't. LaserDisc came out December of '88. Depending on condition and if it's graded or just original sealed it's worth $50 to $200 or so ungraded, right now
Jamstick packaging 📦 = Looks like a great candidate for a USPS Priority Mail "Shoebox" (free fm USPS). Use them a lot, and are great for various semi long / not too wide items.
I have so many boxes. I had a perfect fit for it. Love it when that happens.
I've found some awesome stuff inside books. Beatles posters, sports ticket stubs. Autographed photos etc.
Hi Mike. I have an ET from when it first came out on VHS. Have been holding it all this time. I know it green. Have to check for watermark. wish me luck🤞
Sealed? Look for the date and watermark
let us know how it goes
What year was the package + design copyright for the ET that apparently is worth $200? I haven't heard of any copy going for around $200. It's either been a lot, like your $3800 one or $10-$20. Nothing in between.
Hey Mike! I have a sealed ET with watermark in a clamshell box. Is there a difference between the boxed one and the clamshell? Thanks!
Yes, and I'm not sure which way the price goes. A lot of those clamshells were resealed by BLOCKBUSTER etc. It needs a watermark to help its value if it is sealed.
clamshells are worth a LOT less. the original release was in the cardboard slipsleeve, that's the only one that has high value now. Clamshells were re-releases and not of value yet, maybe one day they will be
Hi have heaps of sealed VHS looking forward to listening thanks Mike
Thanks Miss Eye.
Other than eBay, where is the best place to find value of sealed VHS? I have an original Annie that is sealed, with water mark, and cardboard flap on the bottom. The ones on eBay don't have the cardboard on the bottom. Very curious...
eBay is about it. I can tell you that the most valuable are the classic 70’s and 80’s movies think Raiders of lost Ark, ghostbuster etc.
eBAy and auction sales from companies like heritage and goldin
the Annie that has value is the one released in 1983 by Columbia Tristar, that's the original VHS release tape. The 1985 version/release has some value. there are numerous other releases of the 'original Annie' in later years by the studio, but they don't have value yet even sealed and watermarked. Don't confuse 'original movie' with 'first release'.
@@berniesanderdoll1035 The 1985 version is what I have. From all the images I've seen of them, none of the sealed ones have a complete cardboard flap with a barcode on it, that goes around the bottom of the tape. Which mine has. It seems to open from the side.
Man, I have been having bad luck on DVD/VCR combos at garage sales lately. 4 in the last two weeks were not working correctly. I am learning that if you ask the person giving the garage sale if the DVD/VCR combo works and their response is, "I don't know" that is a lights and sirens moment. At that time it may be a good time to ask to test it. When going to garage sales it may behoove a person to bring an old VHS movie and DVD movie along for testing purposes.
I always ask about them if they are iffy I don't buy. I just sold an Espresso Machine I got for free and it worked. He said it worked and it did.
Are only sealed tapes worth buying? Or are unsealed tapes worth something? Example I have a unsealed E.T.
I feel 90% need to be sealed, but there are some EX: Horror etc, that have some value you. You just have to buy smart.
Once you make your money back on a lot do you ever mark down the others to move them faster than the first couple of sales? Martha Stewart lots for example.
Yes, I sometimes will do that.
Hi Mike - Started following you about 4'ish months ago when you were on Kat's (Nurse Flipper) show. Love your teaching us approach. Keep up the awesome content, and best wishes on huntingfor treasure 💰 Many thanks. - Tim
Thank you Tim. Thanks for watching really appreciate it.
True musicians and sound engineers still use reel to reel recording. Digital will never have the same quality of sound
People need their books. That is the majority of my eBay store.
Yes, they do.
I collect first edition books. A rich couple in their late 70’s are downsizing and are giving me 300 old books or thereabouts. GIVING me. I found a first edition of a 1916 book of poetry from what is likely Canada’s best known author of the early 1900’s, Lucy Maude Montgomery and it was called The Watchman and Other Poems, sold it on eBay for $4138.00. First edition books are key. BTW, the couple told me that they hope the books make a million bucks for me. I missed by a lot on that one but, I won’t complain. People do need books.
I sold a DVD educational art class orig $65 for $20 to an overseas buyer. I kept dropping price and they took me up on offer. Cost .50Cents
Nice. Like free money.
I have a box full of VHS tapes that aren't seal but in excellent condition. Who can I contact to get rid of them?
Put an ad on your local FACEBOOK etc. Someone should take them.
It's easy to get lazy when sales are good and not list anything for a week or two. Then you go two weeks with no income when all your auctions end. Been there many times
Just got a sealed et vhs !! The real deal Holyfield . Portland Oregon
Nice! Let me know if it sells for BIG MONEY.
Just a heads up there is hundreds of sealed ET VHS tapes on Ebay for under $30 and half of them have the water marks on the side.
Yes, but condition etc plays a huge part. I'm in no hurry on that one. Patience. Thanks LAG.
@@goldenstatepicker I would say an ET (1988) in great condition with watermarks is about $20 - $30 right now. However I see ET's going up in value as the hobby grows.
Yeah there is a bunch of them......
Is there anybody near the Long Beach area that buys VHS tapes? I actually have an unopened copy of ET with the MCA watermarks
I am probably about to come into 50 to 70 reel to reel tapes cheap. Most are pre-recorded and as far as I can tell they have the plastic reels, but when you get them cheap there is still some good money in them. With any luck I will be getting a Akai reel to reel/8 track cheap too. These are all at an auction. Some tapes are unofficially worth more if they are loaded with a lot of classic rock to "record over."
Any sealed vhs tapes are very valuable.
some more than others. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Money is not important it's the vhs tape what matters to me
Learn a lot from your videos, things are slow, fortunately I am not totally relying on these sales right now, but it's still cool to make an extra few bucks at the end of the month. My allergies are also killing me this month. The tool box stuff in great, still putting mine togather as I find I need something. Also I go through my items at least once a week and tweek them some , especially the one's with watchers and believe it or not I get some movement.
Yes, I'm tweaking all the time. NOT A TWEAKER THOUGH...LOL. Now that might go over some heads.
@@goldenstatepicker Spell phonetically tweak is the noun I was attempting. Since you’re a music guy I guess tweek could mean something else
Is that a photo, that you supered on the screen - with the watermarks, from the $3,800 auction eBay page? Am asking because the Sold Listing for that $3,800 sale is still up at eBay & that photo you’re showing isn’t among the photos on that sold listing.
That is of mine.
Mine isn’t the right year, but has a watermark.
Just deleted my second comment because you just answered what I was addressing (in the second comment). Thanks for replying so fast. Really appreciate it!
I have many VHS tapes. I am facing unforseen medical problems. I am all new at this. Can you help me
great vid just started following you today. shot you a like and a subscribe
Thanks for watching!
Why do people always put the movie release date on their VHS listings. It should have 1988 since that is when E.T. was released on VHS. Putting 1982 on it opens that guy up for a return.
some use the date the movie was in theaters or on Tv, some use the date the VHS hit the street. But, you're correct....it's best to list the year of the variant you have to avoid confusion and returns...but to be fair, anyone who knows the hobby and is willing to put money down on it, knows which variant is which before buying from the artwork
Also with a regular separate checking? With deposits n all that the bank doesn’t bother you like u might get audited too much activity??
Hi, I didn't see the link to the video with The Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark VHS sale. Can you please send it to me.
Thx
th-cam.com/video/74-eUouaUHE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tgcyBD966fCLapkx Here you go
Thanks
Thanks again Mike!
Thanks again Jonathan.
I'm heading to good will right now! Haha
I have the terminator sealed in vhs but isn’t worth that much.
You have to look at the tape for the year. First year is the one people want for the bigger money. Compare the tape to the ones that sold for top dollar on ebay. ALWAYS COMPARE SOLD not what people are asking.
@@goldenstatepicker a first print Terminator (1985) in excellent sealed condition is worth north of $20k at auction. the later 1991 release is worth $50 to $100. all of the later releases have very little value yet
If I am at a garage sale, I have to assume that the electronic device does not work. Therefore, no matter how clean it is and the husband is a dentist and the wife is a nurse and they both say it works, I have to assume it does not work. I have been burned too many times. I bid on and buy the item as low as I can get it. Also, I could list the 100 variables that cause these items not to work but that would be a waste of our time.
I've had pretty good luck with most. Not to say I haven't had my issues. I also will only buy very low and that is it. LOW LOW!
not having watermarks on a sealed vhs doesnt lower the value from $4k to $200k. research vhs more. there's a lot more to it. non-watermarked vhs are still worth thousands if it original sealed and the right variant/first print
Yes, but the proper WATERMARK is also key. I sold several and one for $4,500 with watermarks etc. Watermarks do play a big factor. Reason is not as easy to shrink wrap a tape. Yes, there are some without watermarks that do sell for a lot of money.
@@goldenstatepicker watermarks help, but only slightly. if it's graded and encased and vetted to be original sealed release in great condition (seal, box, corners, etc) not having watermarks will only reduce value slightly. trust me, we've sold thousands of tapes of ebay and at auctions
I'm hesitant to list Adobe stuff I hear things with their vero
I haven't had an issue. Strange. I've sold Photoshop and others.
Cool 😎
let me know when $200 shows up,, i have the same one sealed and there's no way it's worth $200.
Been a picker since I was 5 years old
What if it’s in the folding box with the taco coupon
I have a ET vhs green door sealed with mca watermarks , 3 on the spline ,,, I bought it as a kid , no one is buying 😢😢😢
It is a very weird category VHS tapes. I was stunned to see my RAIDERS AND STAR TREK sell like they did. Keep trying.
People like myself are cleaning out mode switches in VCR players everything proven people keep there mode switch clean out like they should people will never have playing problem's at all with there VCR player
VCR's are still in demand. Thanks for the comment
Your welcome
I thought Adobe was a Vero item Mike?
All the time I have sold it have never had an issue. Many things are vero but I just haven't had one with ADOBE.
That ET VHS was awesome and I don’t doubt that you of all people will find the $4000 one! Not to be obnoxious, but just so you will be THE ONLY TH-camr who pronounces Le Creuset correctly😂 ( Luh (not La) - Crew-say)
I have a copy of ET with the water mark on the side...
Sealed VHS tapes are stupid. The whole fun of it is taking it out of the case, and watching it.
Hmmmmm. I guess, but I highly doubt the guy that bought my Indiana Jones VHS for $4500 is going to do that.
@@goldenstatepicker exactly. These people are ruining everything for the real VHS heads.
I have 2 for sell one nopened and one open
Le crusay is how the french pronounce le Crueset.
I think your pronunciation is the correct one with no SET at the the end. SAY at the end. Thanks
@@goldenstatepicker it’s also le not la
People like myself are buying vhs movies offline for 10 dollars
People like myself are repairing VCR players in my house now days and people like myself are whiching video's online to help me how to fix them
You should be saying is this tape worth $200 or $20 but I guess you are trying to get the views by having "thousands" and "vhs" in your title.
It's a question. Is it? Yes, we have to create titles to get attention.
My friends you can go and buy it for yourself and take your chances. Not let someone like this buy it and mark it up to get ri 12:13 ch. I see this all the time at Savers. You can spot them a mile away going through the 2.99 DVD'S so they can mark them up to $45.00. Talk about scalping the public.
So sad that your thinking is flawed. NOPE it's called capitalism and a free market. You don't have to participate. You can sit on the sideline like you probably have done for most of your life. I don't de well with negative Lenny's like you. It's called jealousy. You can't do it so you have to start yapping your gums about SCALPING. Well, someone was very happy to pay $4500 for my SEALED RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK VHS TAPE. That's all that matters. Bye FELICIA!
Do you promote on ebay
I'm going to look at that. I put my store on sale from time to time, but may give promoted listings a try.
ET VHS $40.00 tops
Patience. Takes that to make the good money. We sit. Thanks moonshine fuel for commenting. You never know.
Adobe is a vero
I have never had an issue. It’s very strange. Sold at least 10 copies of various photoshop software.
E t is worth 5 bucks
Depends on which one you have. Some go for thousands and some for $5
You got to be a fool to pay big money for a vhs tape.A product is only worth what you willing to pay for it.
❤️📼❤️
Lay Crew Say
I know it is LAY CREW SAY but prefer the LAY CREW SET. LOL. Thank Biff too funny. Oh try this one. L'occitane I know this one.
@@goldenstatepicker My French is strictly limited to the kitchen and is still somewhat weak for that!
What matters more people can find every other vhs movies offline for 10 dollars and buying VCR players offline for 50 dollars or 43 dollars everything everything proven you have put everything down that right way to get them for 43 dollars and for the vhs movies for 10 dollars everything proven there not hard finding online it's the people who don't want you know there here go shopping on your phone now days for everything now days everything getting to the point you don't have to get out of your house now days
VCR players cleaning tapes vhs movies VCR belts everything been online the whole time people like myself have been buying them offline for over 4 years now everything been demand online how to buy them from your phone now days off eBay
Ill sell you a box of vhs
I only buy certain ones. I haven't found one that I like in a long time. Thanks for watching.
Everything is proven people are still getting VCR repair now days at a tv repair shop now days everything proven online which the the video's online now days how clean out a mode switch in a VCR player everything proven people from last week people just got more them VCR players repair for 60 dollars people are still getting VCR player repair now days everything proven people don't know lot like they think they do that people don't get VCR players repair now days not true at all they do to
