In case anyone still cares about collecting rare video tapes...

As a seller of VHS tapes for over a decade, I would describe these as the most profitable genres:

- Pay-Per-View Professional Wrestling (1980's and 1990's)
- 90's Erotica (Cinemax/Showtime type fare)
- 70's / 80's Horror (A Dwindling market as more of these titles reach DVD)
- One-Time Television Specials (Variety Shows, Certain Mini-Series)
- New and Sealed VHS Tapes, but not of popular films
- Foreign-Dubbed American films

These are very broad strokes, of course, but there are certain rules to go by when looking for videos to sell:

- If you've heard of it, it's probably a loser. EVERYBODY bought Batman and Speed when they came out and nobody wants them now.
- In the same vein, look for actors who are more cult acts than mainstream. You are much more likely to profit from a Marty Feldman starring vehicle than a Cary Grant.
- Avoid compilation, or "Clip-Fest" titles. They've all been released in their entirety on DVD by now.
- Goodwills and Salvation Armys are great places to find titles; sometimes as much as 12 for $1. Shipping costs for online shopping make it a much less desirable venue to find titles if you're looking for profit.
- Don't spend more than a few dollars on a single title to sell unless you're certain it's a winner, the value can drop drastically overnight and different venues will get you different prices.

Is there vhs for Slovenia. Please?

...some other tapes which should be very rare:
1) The 2-tape-set of Novecento (1900)
2) The VHS version of Barnens O (Children's Island)
3) Luminous Motion: easily available on region 1 DVD, as far as I know; the European DVD in region 2 is much more of a rarity - and the VHS (NTSC version only, I think) seems to be VERY rare
4) in general, I would think that most cassettes which were published very late, during the "transition period" from VHS to DVD, can be considered rare today...
And of course there are lots and lots of movies of which many copies in VHS format still exist BUT mostly in worn-out shape, as they had been produced primarily for rental purposes, not so much for sale... (In other words, OFFICIALLY you could only get hold of these titles when some video store decided to sort them out... I fondly remember these big plastic boxes stuffed with dozens of rental cassettes which were now sold away for a bargain price ;-)
