When will VHS tapes be worth a lot?

Some of the vcr taped music videos were never transcribed into dvd and those can be worth a lot.

 

I know people who still have analogue TVs. Usually, older or less well off. They use set top boxes, or communal digital Freeview to analogue converters. I've got programmes I've recorded to keep on DVD: there's still a lot of stuff that never comes out on pre-recorded, especially current affairs.

 

I wish I was one of those people who could still record to dvd or vcr from my tv set.

I almost never watch tv anymore anyway, just dvds of concerts, movies, etc.

I'd really rather put an antenna up in the highest part of my attic and catch c-span that way, but the "package price" for cable internet, phone and tv is about the same price as it would be without the video reception. Perhaps I could make my cell phone into a wifi hotspot to eliminate the need for cable altogether.

 

I have a few including Tina Turner '90.

How about Atom Man vs Superman double set of 15 chapters. 1950 made in '89.

Nice!
Don't think I've seen this set before.

 

Interesting thread. I agree that recordings on tape have a limited life span, due to physical deterioration over time.
And I can see how some tapes might be rare or collectible.
But if I had anything like that, I'd be tempted to sell now, rather than hoping for better prices later.

 

Only the cover ( box ) art, will stand the test of time.

Like album covers...which are getting hotter all the time, it's the condition that jumps the value.

I have some good covers....but ......there seems to be some kinda drug residue on quite a few of them....



( this one actually tells you to clean ' herb ' on it's bumpy surface....)

 

Yes....and you could always roll 'em up and smoke 'em....

 

What with the move to legalize and decriminalize ....I'll bet that old dope , pot , weed, stuff becomes more sought after...

 

Won't be able to sit still to watch it,

 

not everyone had a pvr i have a dcx3400-m from shaw cable with hdmi and hours of hd recording time but if i want to take it over to a friends who's less fortunate to not have cable to watch it's a lot easier to take a vhs tape than my pvr

 

a friend yesterday was asking me if i still have an 8 track player , and I do with 4 tapes , all kiss lol

 

and I have used records ,vhs ,cd,dvd cassette tape ,8 track, real to real ,and even a 45 ,covers to roll

 

Nice Audrey set! I am still waiting for the 8 tracks to skyrocket in value.

 

In the year 2525....I'm kind wondering if........

 

If Brewer and Shipley what?

 

Another thing I just bought a lot of....
I've yet to research prices but they were cheap and will probably pay for them with one or two.

 

lol, my MGB has a working 8-track, 2 cases of tapes in the trunk.
