How much would you pay for....

Postby Machinehead » Sun Jan 25, 2004 2:24 pm

....A VHS Collection of DBZ? Im thinking of seeling mine on EBAY, and I want to know how much you think I should price it as. It is 38 volumes in full.

I would pay $0.

Of course, I don't even touch VHS anymore since the invention of the DVD player. :thumb:

You might consider selling each VHS for $5 each, bringing the total to $190

Add an extra $10 for an even $200.

Of course, not many people may be willing to pay that much, so you may consider selling for $150 or $100 instead.

Have you tried looking at what they're going for (if there is any right now) on Ebay? Generally that'll give you a good idea of what something will go for.

I've looked on EBAY, and you cant trust it. Most of them are bootlegs that are horrible fansubs....

First off, are your VHS tapes COPIES, or are they the official VHS tapes that were made before dvd?

If they're copies, then yeah, $0 lol

But used Official vhs tapes will generally run for $5 or less. Usually no more than $5 cause a used dvd runs about that price up to aprox $10. Depends on what the demand is for that particular product. Remember, Price is determined by supply and demand.

You really should check the other prices on Ebay. Not all of them will be bootlegs/imports, and even if they are, it will give you some idea of what other people are paying for them.

If you do decide to sell them, I would start the bidding at under $100. If you start it too high, no one will bother to look. I wouldn't worry about not getting the amount of money you are look for, either, since anyone that wants it is probably won't let it go for less that you are asking.

Of course I will probably check the prices myself within the next 10 minutes if you are too lazy.

Price Update:

Ok, I checked, and it looks like you should expect to make roughly $100-$150.

Here is an auction that just went for about $150: (Link removed)
Why are you selling them, if you don't mind me asking?

Edit: Actually, if just shot up to $200+ in the last minutes of the auction, so perhaps you can expect to make that much.

I took the link down, because apparently the seller decided to post some obscene stuff after the auction closed.

The other items being auctioned by that seller are... very inapropriate to say the least. You may not want to be linking to that page.

That definitely is unappropriate... though that is an ingenious way to have a DBZ collection (the unappropriate items are in a Buy Other Junk from this Seller sort of deal). Now I must wash my eyes out with soup...

Blech... I wouldn't buy any anime from a guy that also is selling such... unappropriate videos.

WHAT?? You never wanted to wash with soup?

Actually I wonder how many on CAA actually had to wash with soup before... wait... that's tomato juice...

Never mind... :?:

I've washed with soup...which is to say that I've eaten soup on several occasions. :P

100: 1 odds that this topic could be a funny goof off thread.

Bets will be in Gil...
