My ex was a member of a pre-cert forum and the DPP banned list Nasties would regularly sell on there in the high £100s. Even the video covers would go for £100s. The films themselves are shockingly bad but because he collected them we had various VHS players, laser disc players and different region DVD players. I don't miss them at all

The only way to get a decent retro gaming experience of anything before the PS3/360 era is on a 4:3 ratio CRT television, so I know that good ones still sell for decent prices.

VHS I'm less sure about - honestly it just wasn't ever a good media format, same with cassette tapes. It would be purely for nostalgia.

There's a VR experience of a "90's bedroom" that's amazing... you can use the TV/old consoles, right down to putting in the tapes and discs yourself, and it has built in emulators so the games actually play on the screen... not a brilliant way to play a game but the nostalgic experience is great.

Yeah the CRT's for Retro gaming is definitely pushing up the price.

Oh yeah, it's only for nostalgia, not quality. Even Betamax was a better format than VHS.

Also, just been going through my old CD's from the 90's. Most of them are Rap and Hip Hop. Some go for decent prices. Not life changing or anything, but 2pac's All Eyes on Me just sold for £28 on ebay, i have a copy of that. Same as The Chronic, i see it see for 20 something quid a couple days ago.

Most, just like VHS are worthless, but worth checking before you disregard them.

I own this too - https://www.amazon.co.uk/K-Operation...=UTF8&qid=&sr=

The Evil Dead VHS - Pre-Cert.

I've never seen one with the "not guilty" banner for sale, ever. Only seen a couple collectors on youtube show them off years ago. I have a feeling it's gonna do extremely well.

Been on for just over a day and bidding already at £275. Just under 6 days left.

Spoiler:

VHS is a crappy format to be honest... It can only be for the nostalgia value there.

However for retro gaming (anything up to and including PlayStation 1/N64) - they look and play best on a 4:3 CRT television and always will. They were made for them, and they look terrible on high-resolution screens. There's no way around that. I have dreams of one day having a gaming nostalgia room and it will 100% have a couple of CRT tellys in it .

Yes 1080i LCD came next

Ideal for TV broadcast via HDMI



I ignore the 720P
half HD tv's

Video tapes, especially Horror's, and not just Pre-Cert videos (which have always been quite valuable). Child's Play, the original VHS for example is currently on ebay with a £50 bid.

VHS Players, averaging £30/60.

Funny how things we throw out, sometimes pay people to collect for the skip now have a nice few quid value....

Does anyone on here still have any old TV and VHS media?

What’s the attraction of those old fashioned, bulky TVs ??

Like SB said, they're much better for retro gaming, much bolder colours and much more pleasurable experience.

I thought the selling point of the new tellies was more vibrant colours ??

Well yeah, modern tech goes with modern tech and all that. But PS2, Mega Drives, Nintendo games from the early 00's and 90's/80's where consoles made with CRT display in mind. So they gel together much better.

the issue is that the high definition tv's of today have a picture that is too detailed. It makes older low definition video sources look fuzzy. So because older tv's are also low resolution they are a better match to the video source
