300 vhs

[wdaddy]

If I'm not mistaken the old "white" cover Disney should be the first gen. of them and seem to be worth more.

My sideline business is about 40% amazon, 40% Ebay, and the rest scrap computers. I have been selling seriously on amazon for many years now.



New Disney tapes are worthless. EVERYONE has a copy of Beauty and the Beast. Then it was released on DVD and again on Blu-Ray.

Older Disney are hit and miss. VHS tapes are hit and miss. I would say out of 100 tapes I scan I will find 2-4 worth anything. I don't ever guess when I buy things to resell. I cheat with technology. A smart phone is the minimum you would need when scouting for merchandise.

Some of my guidelines for VHS - If you have ever heard of it, it's probably worthless. If it was ever on DVD, it's absolutely worthless. Odd ball titles have the best chance of selling. Horror movies are good. Zombie Scrappers From Hell. That's a good title. I would research that one.

ShotGun buying is a bad idea. If you buy 100 tapes at $1 each and sell 4 at $10 each you will loose money. If you find 10 that should be worth money and get them for $1 each and sell the first one in the first week for $35 you are already into profit and all the others can sell eventually. I have had tapes on my shelf for 2 years before they sell. Others never do sell and their value eventually falls to nothing and you purge them... but the ones that do will keep you in business.

Books are like tapes, only different... same with cds. DVD's are also sometimes worth money.... sometimes.

I could go on and on... but I guess I'm on the scrapper forum, not the Amazon forum...

Good luck today everyone.
