  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you've got stuff from nineteen eighty six,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: it could pay off in twenty twenty six. But cubby,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: who knew? Who knew? So people are now collecting VHS
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: tapes not to play them. They want them sealed up,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: original packaging. But if you've got mint conditions, Star Wars,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Back to the Future, Jaws, they are worth thousands of dollars, but.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: They have to be like in their plastic still never
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: taken out. Yeah, which I think I have a few
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of those, but I don't know if they're Jaws, I

  Speaker 1: definitely do. Kristen does too.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Right, Oh, yeah, you've got some VHS tapes that are

  Speaker 2: like not opened.

• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and I were thrifting yesterday in Pennsylvania and I came across.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I know it's hard to see, but I took a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: picture of it. I'm showing it to you, Christine. It's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a VCR from nineteen seventy eight.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a major console.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, big, huge. It was twenty bucks. I thought about
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: getting it, and then I asked chat GPT, like, is
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it worth anything, and it said looking at it, probably not,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: but if it's in mint condition, you could get maybe
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: over one hundred for it. But no, that's so funny.

• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's a good point. That's a great point.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Because there's some good, like really valuable stuff you don't want.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But okay, I guess it's all in the eye of
