Will VHS tapes be worth anything some day?

Question

We have a lot of VHS tapes that we do not use. I am not sure if we should get rid of them or not. Will they end up like 8 track tapes did in the 70's or will they eventually be worth something?

Answer 1

They are just tape and are not really sticky so since there is little use for them now then there will be less use for them in the future.  It is not like duct tape which will always be used and needed.

Answer 2

only if it has never gone to dvd

Answer 3

Maybe someday far away from now.  But within the next 50 years, probably not.

Answer 4

I knida doubt it but you should keep them...just in case

Answer 5

Sorry they will just go down in money CD's are taking over now, but you could have a yard sale and maybee sell your moivies for like 50  cents each or just give them away to your family members. I bet that they would enjoy them as muchas you did.

Answer 6

Maybe 50 years from now!

Answer 7

Maybe I Dontnno

Answer 8

Here is the problem......by the time they might be worth something..say in 200 years...the tape itself has been ruined from age and humidity.

tapes are more fragile than record albums.

Answer 9

I'm sure they will be worth something someday. But I think it'll be a very long time until that happens.

Answer 10

do records cost more now??

think about that!

Answer 11

im sure they  will

like the classic ones but i dk

i hope so because i have a million of them!

Answer 12

It's hard to tell what will happen, but my guess is they probably won't because of how fragile VHS are and how cheap and durable DVDs are.

Answer 13

not a chance

put them in a box with your cassette tapes

ship em to iraq they love em there

Answer 14

ask your uncle! he knows.

Answer 15

they will...when we are all dead

Answer 16

Probably not. Think of the amount of VHS tapes out there. I have about 200 in storage. They will never be rare.

Answer 17

maybe

Answer 18

they will in a couple hundred years

Answer 19

Eh...

Keep them.

Answer 20

i think yes, like how records are still around. and they talk about "in my day we used to listen to records..." lol

Answer 21

Only if you find someone that uses them.  LPs are are worth more than other old music and such but the same as old game systems 8tracks and cassettes they will not be worth much.
