If you've grown up watching Disney, or know someone who has, you or they will most likely have a stack of Disney VHS tapes stored away somewhere in the house. You know, for 'safe keeping'.

But now is your chance to dig them out and sell them, because people are buying them for thousands of pounds! Why would you want to miss out on that?!

Swipe through to see the most underrated and overlooked animated films out there...


These old Disney video tapes are worth THOUSANDS on eBay
2 of 16

A scroll through an eBay search for Disney videos will bring up various listings, including Aladdin, Cinderella and Bambi. But, as soon as you add in the keyword 'Black Diamond' - signifying the collection of Disney Classics released between 1984-1994 - asking prices go through the roof!

One listing in particular is selling the Black Diamond edition of The Fox and The Hound, The Rescuers, Cinderella, Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Basil The Great Mouse Detective and The Rescuers Down Under for the Buy It Now price of £13,950.67.

And it's got 55 watchers.

Another eBay user is selling a single Black Diamond version of Aladdin, which was released in 1993, for £795! Even though the seller has admitted to a 'small split to outer case plastic cover top spine', and adds that there is a 'little wear to case generally', the item will be snapped up quick from what reports are suggesting!

Of course, we're not suggesting that if you put a couple of old vids on eBay to make storage in your loft, but, if you do have Black Diamond versions of the films, why not put them up? You're guaranteed to make big bucks!
