Apparently that edition is worth some money…not sure why, but hey…if you got money to burn…lol
Good luck if a tape that old even plays.
My guess is it has to do with some being interested in how the film looked originally before the THX Sound was mixed.
Obviously the editions that followed aren't worth much, since they are commonly available, but there are many other VHS titles that are selling high as well.
This is becoming more of a fad, but does it seem worth it?

I made my own collection out of more obscure titles, but widely seen films seem to sell better for some reason.

Now you are making me regret getting rid of my 8 tracks.
Guess I should hang onto my cassettes a bit longer.
Maybe I can make some serious money off of those homemade, "80's Party Hardy Jams," and "Big Hair (Styling)" mix tapes.

I threw away all of my recorded ones (about 100) in 2012 but I kept the manfac'd ones so Im gonna have to dig that box out from under the stairs. I know I had most all of Hitchcock and quite a few double-tape epics.
I got my first VCR in 1980 and by 1982 I bet I didnt have even 15 tapes. They were expensive and I wouldn't dream of spending $50 to $100 on a manfac'd movie. So I actually started my collection of THOSE in the 90's.
I may be twisted, but I'm not miserable. -

I watched
Grease
yesterday at the cinema. I noticed the sound effects were different and not as enhanced as my blu ray, especially the car audio effects.
