VHS Tapes Are Worth Real Money — But Only If They Meet These Criteria
Your VHS collection isn't worthless. Some copies are selling for over NZD $2,000.
But here's the catch: graded copies, factory-sealed tapes, and fake single-bid sales are pumping up the market. I've tracked down 38 genuine VHS sales with multiple bids from real collectors. Clockwork Orange uncut early releases. Night of the Living Dead MEDA copies. Obscure horror from Camp Video and Sub-Vision. Cult films that actually have people bidding war.
The key: condition matters, first prints matter, and you need multiple bids to prove it's a real market, not a manipulated one. Factory-sealed copies and professionally graded tapes are out. Bulk lots are out. Only used VHS with genuine collector interest.
If you've got rare horror from the 1980s, early releases of cult classics, or obscure independent releases that actually play, you might have something valuable.
Dig through your bookshelf. You might be sitting on a goldmine.
We've tracked down 30+ books that recently sold for over NZD $500 on eBay — some for nearly NZD $5,000. We're talking vintage horror classics, rare science fiction limited editions, out-of-print memorabilia, and beloved series' most elusive volumes. Some are worth $600. Others are worth alot more.
This isn't about signed books or Advance Reader Copies — just regular editions that turned out to be rarer (and far more valuable) than anyone expected. Prices from eBay typically foreshadow where the New Zealand second-hand market heads within 12 months, so if something's commanding big money now, it will eventually.
Some of the biggest eBay book results aren’t signed, one-of-a-kind treasures. They’re recognisable titles that people genuinely might have on their shelves. Below are ten real auction sales (sold listings) that drew plenty of bidding and finished at surprisingly high NZD amounts
