Is that the price they are actually selling for? Or just the asking price?
The real most expensive vhs is of my first wedding, I'm willing to sell it for $300,000.
(Disclaimer: it was destroyed in a flood and thrown away and now resides in a landfill. However upon receiving the $300,000 I will send you a receipt stating that you own it.)
If I give you $300,000,000 for it would you be willing to mint an NFT that links to a webpage that says I own the tape?
It's asking price. The author apparently went to eBay, sorted by price descending, and then wrote an article as if people were actually paying that much.
The black diamond thing is an internet myth. It's easy to disprove. Just go to eBay and look for black diamond Disney films on VHS. There will be some listed for thousands of dollars, but if you sort by sold you'll see that they're really selling for a couple dollars each. Maybe there was one that was unopened and in pristine condition that sold for that much, but it's unlikely that the one you found at the thrift store is worth any more than what they're selling it for.
Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)
On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.
