3. Vintage Auto Racing or Motorcycle Tapes
In case you’re a fanatic of motorsports, or old car/bike “video magazines,” begin digging through your tapes. Old VHS tapes of NASCAR or Formula One titles can go for up to $30-$50 each. One eBay seller figured out how to net $110 for his collection of NASCAR races, which he’d recorded off the TV himself in 1994. Another dealer got $375 for his collection of Dick Wallen midget series racing tapes. Bike aficionados, can transform their Easyriders or Sturgis tapes into money. One seller exchanged his collection of 43 tapes for $175.
4. Vintage Sports Tapes
Sports tapes and collections can bring huge money today, especially if they were never made for DVD release. If you were into alternative sports like skateboarding and BMX biking, these games became big amid the ’80s and ’90’s. Furthermore, this was the peak of the VHS period. One eBay seller got almost $300 for a collection of just 10 skateboarding VHS tapes. A few BMX titles can be worth $40-$50 each. If you like more conventional games like basketball, there’s cash for you as well—especially for recordings highlighting “legendary” games/teams, like the original Dream Team, which gets $50, or vintage recordings about particular franchises (like the Dallas Cowboys), which will always have a market amongst fans.
