Old DVDs stored in cupboards could be worth hundreds of pounds, with the Carry On Film Collection box set fetching an average price of £350. The complete set of all 31 films, made over a 34-year span, is the most expensive DVD on a new list of valuable discs.
Top Valuable DVD Sets
The Monty Python and the Holy Grail limited edition castle box set could get £300, as could the Blade Runner Ultimate Collector's Edition and The Godfather box set. The Avengers '62-64 Emma Peel Mega Set is worth £275, while The Wicker Man wooden box limited edition could fetch £225.
Other notable entries include The World at War Ultimate Restored Blu-ray Edition, the Quatermass Collection limited edition box set, and Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery Blu-ray box set, all valued at £225.
Expert Advice on Selling
Bally Casino revealed the list and recruited collectables expert Tracy Martin to provide her expertise. She said: "Collectable value can be due to rarity, different variants to the norm, oddities (misspellings on DVD cases or books), nostalgia - people buying back their memories, limited edition and basic supply and demand."
Martin added: "There are so many reasons things are collectable. People don't always recognise they have things of value, which is why they turn to valuers like me or do their own research online. Always research to ensure you get the best price achievable for your collectable by looking to see what similar items have sold for in the past."
Complete List of 15 Valuable DVDs
The full list includes Peeping Tom (Criterion Collection Region 2) at £200, Withnail & I limited edition tin box at £175, and The Beatles Anthology DVD box set at £175. Red Dwarf - Just the Shows DVD box set is worth £150, as is Taxi Driver's 35th Anniversary Blu-ray Edition, while The Third Man UK Steelbook Edition completes the list at £125.
Martin suggested that finding a good selling platform is key to getting a good price, and that it's important to start at a reasonable price for the item being sold. With certain DVDs making a comeback, CDs could be next to increase in value, given the already huge rise in popularity of vinyls.
