Ebay Disney Dvd

[Octavis Uberstine]

Ifthere were just a few ridiculously high prices, I'd understand, but there are so many overly high prices that it seems many sellers are trying to manipulate the market, much the same as price guide authors used to do in the 1990s when they wrote books promoting their own collectible niches with vastly overstated values.

"Disney Black Diamond Collection VHS tapes were often listed for thousands of dollars, but few (if any) actually sold at that price. A July 2015 BuzzFeed article linked to an eBay auction for the Beauty and the Beast tape priced at $500 dollars, but that listing was still active (or unsold) at the time of the June 2016 rumor. A year before that, social media buzzed about a speculated value of $500 for the film, probably because of the aforementioned article."

It is not clear to me if the seller is raising the price of a multiple item listing after an item has already sold cheaply, or simply listing for high prices and accepting much lower offers to create the illusion of high prices.

I've seen this discussed in the eBay Seller forum. The speculation is that this involves money laundering. Surely no one in their right mind would pay $1000 for a VHS tape when the same exact one is being sold for $10.

In each situation I had either the only copy or the only under $100 copy. I attribute this to the incredible Disney magic. A family goes to a favorite DisneyWorld park, loves the music, and want to play it in the car with the family. Is it worth $50 to keep the rugrats happy and quiet for a 1000 mile car trip? Absolutely. Cheaper than 6 plane tickets. And some folks have more money than sense.

In the old days, vhs railroad tapes sold for $20 or $30 each. Now I have 2 shelves of vhs railroad tapes that just need to be discarded. Maybe I can pull the disney tape scam with them? You start with the possibility that both disney and railroad items are in high demand.,,,,,,,,,No, I can not do it. I have enough unlisted good inventory to take 6 months to list. And I do have a conscious.

I'm fairly new to eBay selling. I have many Walt Disney Black Diamond Classics and other Disney classic VHS tapes to sell. When I look at recently sold listings for the same exact tapes I have in the same condition I see WILD variations in sold prices. From $2 to $5000 all close in time for what appears to be the exact same tape.

I'm not @reallynicestamps but I've been at the effect of these sport bidders - they bid stuff up ridiculously and then disappear. There are few consequences from flaking out from paying save that if the seller handles it correctly, an unpaid item (UPI) case is filed, and the deadbeat gets a strike. Sellers can have their preferences set to block buyers with 2 or more UPI strikes in a rolling 12-month period so there are some consequences. I just quit using auctions but then I don't have much to auction.

eBay has an option that sellers can check off on the listing form, for "Immediate payment required." But the last time I checked up on a few of those outrageously priced Sold items, none of them had IPR noted. And most of them had a note at the top which said that they had been relisted.

I notice most of the high-priced sold listings for disney black diamond vhs tapes are from zero feedback sellers, and many of those have been relisted -- another indication that no transaction has been completed.

Agreed; I think there's an awful lot of urban legend revolving around Disney Black Diamond titles. I would never bother collecting videotapes except in the rare case of some orphaned title that never made it to DVD or Blu-ray format, and even then I would play it just once for the purpose of burning it to DVD for stability of playback later on. After all, VHS tapes aren't much good if you don't have a functioning machine on which to play them back.

All which a_c_green has written, plus the following: VHS tapes (like cassette tapes) have a tendency to stick together, unless they are played regularly. This results in a brief "stutter and snap" every few seconds, which makes the viewing of the VHS tape annoying.

BUT -- each time a VHS tape is viewed, a tiny bit of the tape is scratched away, when the VHS tape makes contact with the internal metal rollers of the VHS player. The result with color films is that, over time, the colors are no longer as bright as they once had been. Similarly, with b&w VHS tapes, the blacks gradually become grays.

Finally -- these are WALT DISNEY items, produced 10 or more years after the Golden Age of Disneyana had ended. They were produced in such high quantities as to make them questionable as "collectibles." Walt Disney Productions were a multi-million dollar industry, and generally did not produce small quantities of merchandise, considering the vast amounts of profit to be made by flooding the market with tens of thousands of copies of EVERYTHING Disney. I used to work in a video store, and we NEVER, EVER ran out of Disney VHS tapes.

2 nd, i have seen items showing sold at a high price but it was never paid for, kids get online and have fun by bidding a super high price but never pay for it, just kids having friends..than the item will be showing SOLD but it wasnt and ebay doesnt adjust the final
