Always weird to me what goes up in value, and what does not. 1968 Porsche, low-end model? 300k. Dakar winning motorcycle? 15k. Steel Rolex with scratches? 30k

Always weird to me what goes up in value, and what does not.
1968 Porsche, low-end model? 300k. Dakar winning motorcycle? 15k.
Steel Rolex with scratches? 30k. Early digital quartz watches? 300.
Personally I am waiting for a few things to blow up. Palm Treo and Blackberry phones, Nokia fashion phones (think 7260), and weird Sony cameras (dsc-f828). Immensely hard to predict, but fun nonetheless.

- tivert 3y ago> I was blown away to hear the other day that some VHS tapes are going for a high price! Apparently old video game things are going nuts, too. My brother says our family's beat-up copy of Earthbound is worth $300. The old Virtual Boy my other brother picked up for $30 could probably be sold for more than $500 (because it's still in it's original beat-up box). Apparently an old tube TV we have in such demand by video game collectors that the model is hard to find now. The moral of the story: check eBay when you're getting rid of your old junk.
- mbg721 3y agoThat really surprises me given how poorly they seem to store, at least in my experience.
- mtmail 3y ago"is selling for", "is currently being sold for". The journalist should've looked at actual past sales. All links I clicked are still unsold. https://www.ebay.com/str/wunderbid https://www.ebay.com/str/wunderbid lists many VHS tapes for $1000s. But when I look into the past sales I see any price over $1000 is crossed through (best price accepted, not the asking price). Still some VHS went for $300-$600.
