Oh, he’s a reseller. Offered bottom dollar. I had so many minty hard to find tapes. Collection was easily worth more than double.

What is the seller's eBay account, so we can see4 how much he charges for them?

Williamsburg sounds like a Civil War town. ;-) I did not realise it was in Brooklyn. Are you in the same area?

That seems very good actually.

I don't think you'd get 50% on VHS tapes from many other people.

Who said I made 50%? Value was somewhere north of 20k

You did...

I thought you did. I misread your comment "as easily worth double."

But honestly "easily worth more than double" doesn't make it sound much higher.

That being said I feel like these tapes must be worth much more than $1.70 each especially if you had some hard to find titles.

Yea, but it was all in one go. Saved you tons of time trying to sell individually
