The average CRT TV (the big backs, weighs a ton TV's) are going for an average of £60 on ebay, some portables are going for £100.
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?

I stopped using VHS years ago and sent pretty much most videos to charity shops. Had to throw away the taped stuff ,but it does seem like alot of old stuff are collectable items now . I guess there's a market for it.

when anything becomes rare, it's value rises, even if it's a pile of useless crap

Do you know what i think it is though, people want to step back in time. I remember the days of walking to the local video shop on a Friday after school, being allowed ONE video to rent for the weekend. I would be in this small little video shop for easily an hour, going over the same old videos, looking at the backs of the covers, trying to make the best choice. (luckily the video shop people knew my parents, and baring anything blue, or sexual violence, i could rent anything i liked) Then that was it, you had that ONE film for the weekend. So you watched and enjoyed, even if it was sh!t.
I know times are better in that sense, like if you don't like a film after 20 mins, at the click of a button you have thousands to choose from OD. But there is something "sweet" about how it used to be. I certainly miss physical media. Tapes, CD's, Videos. Going into town every weekend as a teen, with a tenner in my pocket, and coming home with as much as i could afford. Those were good memories

This was banned, and still is i think, silly money
Some of the prices are insane, however this is nothing new, Pre Cert Horror VHS is very much still desired. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...orror&_sacat=0 But even more common videos like the ones linked below are going for a few quid, stuff you wouldn't think twice about throwing out as "useless" https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314338031658 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285113541313

i saw that video too. I was an avid watcher of videos in the 80's and then it came out that they were all actually snuff movies. It was a real shocker

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

Which ones? It was proved in court that all the Video Nasties that hinted at snuff were mainly fake. Baring weird sh!t like that Faces of Death, which was half real and marketed as a "documentary"

At that time though, it put huge doubt in your mind about what you were watching, so i basically stopped watching horror movies unless they were obviously upmarket |

Yes that was the attraction of seeing them, that someone actually died. Now can just look at Kaotic.com every day!

The Tories had an agenda and just wanted things they didn;t like banned, or stuff that offended them. It's what the left are doing now.
