Collectors pay thousands of dollars for some Disney classics.

The article discusses the rising value of old Disney VHS tapes among collectors, particularly highlighting rare and well-preserved editions. It notes that while most VHS tapes are worth little, certain classic Disney animations like 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Aladdin' can fetch thousands of euros. Special editions marked with a 'Black Diamond' symbol are especially sought after. Notably, a documentary tape titled 'Disney, Marking The Millennium' sold for 39,000 euros, and the rarest sale mentioned was a 1986 'The Goonies' tape sold for 109,000 euros. The piece advises collectors to check online auctions before discarding or gifting old tapes, as they might hold unexpected value.
