  > 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.

  That really surprises me given how poorly they seem to store, at least in my experience.

  "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.
