   Star Wars VHS tapes sell for around US$10-$15 in used good condition   
   ... a still factory sealed VHS tape of the original pre-"Episode IV"   
   movie did sell for US$2,500 though.

   My few records haven't been used much. We haven't even had a record   
   player for at least 25 years, probably longer. I sometimes look at   
   buying a new record player, but the prices are expensive thanks to   
   manufacturers greedily jumping on the resurgence bandwagon ... plus I   
   wouldn't use it much.   
      
   I did buy one of the last VHS-DVD combo boxes that I put in the   
   cupboard and has never been used.
