15 old school DVDs that are worth hundreds - check your collection now

Prior to the dominance of Netflix and Amazon Prime, DVDs were the go-to entertainment medium for countless children. Back then, the only way to watch a movie after its cinema run and before it was broadcast on television was to purchase the DVD release.

Even earlier, VHS tapes were our portal to cinematic adventures, with many recalling trips to local Blockbuster stores to pick out the perfect film for a weekend evening or the thrill of unwrapping a longed-for DVD on birthdays or Christmas.

Even though streaming platforms have surged over the last ten years, leading some to believe that DVDs had become obsolete, the reality is quite different. Certain movies and TV series remain absent from online libraries, driving up their worth on resale websites.

Bally Casino dipped into the data to uncover which DVDs could earn you a tidy sum and enlisted the expertise of collectables connoisseur Tracy Martin for guidance on identifying valuable items and maximising profit from sales.

Topping the chart as the priciest DVD set is the Carry On Film Collection, an extensive box set featuring all 31 films produced across a 34-year period, commanding an impressive average price tag of £350, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Tracy weighed in: "Collectable value can be due to rarity, different variants to the norm, oddities (misspelling on DVD cases or books), nostalgia - people buying back their memories, limited edition and basic supply and demand."

Expert valuer Tracey revealed: "There are so many reasons things are collectable. People don't always recognise they have things of value which is why they turn to valuers like me or do their own research online. Always research to ensure you get the best price achievable for your collectable by looking to see what similar items have sold for in the past.

"Find the perfect selling platform, that could be an auction selling site or a retail site. I prefer an auction with collectables as there is the option for worldwide visibility and also is more likely to encourage people to bid before the item expires, people love a deadline."

Touching on pricing strategy, she said, "Start at a reasonable price and have a reserve in place so the item won't sell for less than you want. End the listing at the right time and day - Sunday night between 8 and 9pm is perfect as people are home relaxing browsing the internet."

Tracey believes that CDs could be the next hot commodity: "The 1990s are making a stir in the collectable market as younger generations are buying into this decade. DVDs are one of the hot areas at present and examples from the 90s and 00s are starting to achieve interesting prices. For example, horror movies have always realised the most on the secondary market as people love scary movies and the complete Halloween movie DVDs to date sell for around £150-£200.

"Another area to watch is 90s Hip Hop and Dance music CDs as these are something likely to become desirable in the future."
