Got VHS tapes collecting dust on a shelf somewhere? Maybe you already

reclaimed the space and they’re sitting in an attic long-forgotte

Hopefully you didn’t throw them out, though, as it turns out there

might be quite the market for some old tapes.Modern directorial practice

for movie releases and re-releases tends to include adding or editing the

film from the theatrical version. While some people don’t mind or even enjoy

these changes, for others, the original cut is worth a hefty price tag. This

tapes is a black diamond with Walt’s signature on it.
