BETA and VHS tapes, along with Laser Disks, are virtually worthless. There are exceptions, I have sold a rare VHS documentary for over a hundred bucks, and for a brief while the Star Wars VHS tapes were worth some money. Still, unless you follow that narrow market closely, which is a waste of time, it’s not worth it.Ironically, you can sell crappy LPs and the like for a bit as craft supplies.

Laser Disks and CDs can fall into this category as well but chances are you will never get more than what you paid for them.If you are crafty, you can turn your VHS and BETA cases into well cases and purses and the like and sell them elsewhere as Handmade items. Hipsters go nuts for that sort of thing. I’d look for ones with unique labels or red, or something other than the usual black, plastic.Edited by: Delirium Comics on Jul 27, 2014 11:55 AM. I still sell VHS tapes on a regular basis. It is a niche market, and you need to know what sells and what doesn’t, but since I usually get them for free from people who think they are worthless, there is very minimal risk.As for Beta, until I say this thread, I had not even +thought+ about Beta for years. Unless you know they will sell, I would only take them if they were free or maybe 5 cents each.I know people who are hate DVDs, etc. But they are fanatical about VHS tapes, and they never even mention Beta.
' Wasn’t the betamax player created and marketed by Sony? 'Yes it was, I still have this Betamax tape and has a little difference in measurement with VHS tape, handy like the rival videotape format VHS, introduced in Japan by JVC in October 1976 and in the United States by RCA in August 1977. Betamax had no guard band and used azimuth recording to reduce crosstalk. According to Sony’s own history webpages, the name came from a double meaning: beta being the Japanese word used to describe the way signals were recorded onto the tape, and from the fact that when the tape ran through the transport, it looked like the Greek letter beta (β). The suffix -max, from the word “maximum”, was added to suggest greatness. In 1977, Sony came out with the first long play Betamax VCR, the SL-8200.
This VCR had two recording speeds: normal, and the newer half speed. This provided two hours recording time on the L-500 Beta videocassette. The SL-8200 was to compete against the VHS VCRs that had 2 or 4 hours of recording time and due to that time hours capability, the Betamax was defeated in the market, therefore, it is useless to sell Betamax online or other commercial places. ' What’s a beta tape? 'To those who were born in the 70’s have no inkling of this machine, a predecessor of the VHS or VCR.
Beta or Betamax as referred to as such in the logo, is a consumer-level analog videocassette magnetic tape recording format developed by Sony, released in Japan on May 10, 1975. The cassettes contain.50 in (12.7 mm)-wide videotape in a design similar to the earlier, professional.75 in (19 mm) wide, U-matic format. The format is virtually obsolete, though an updated variant of the format, Betacam, is still used by the television industry.
