Brits urged to check DVD collections for titles worth up to £350

If you've got a stack of old DVDs gathering dust at home, it might be worth giving them a second look. Some TV shows and films could fetch a surprising amount. Despite the drop in DVD sales due to the rise of streaming giants like Netflix and Amazon Prime, there's still a strong market for certain titles, particularly among collectors. Some of your older discs could now be worth quite a bit. Before the streaming revolution, DVDs were a common sight in most households. While many now consider them outdated, there's a growing appreciation for physical media, especially rare editions or titles that are hard to find online. Read more One significant reason for this resurgence is that not every film or TV show is available on streaming platforms. For fans who want reliable access to their favourite shows, owning a physical copy still has its appeal, reports the Express. In a recent study, Bally Casino identified several DVDs that could be surprisingly valuable, reports Chronicle Live . They teamed up with collectables expert Tracy Martin to gain insights into what makes certain editions stand out and how to maximise their sale. The Carry On Film Collection takes the top spot for being the most valuable. A complete box set of films from the much-loved British comedy series can command around £350 on average. Another high-value item is the Monty Python and the Holy Grail Limited Edition Castle Box set, which can sell for up to £300. Tracy 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. "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." Tracy stresses that choosing the right platform and setting a realistic price from the start are among the most important steps when selling your items. She hinted that CDs might be the next media format to surge in value, especially since vinyl has already made a major comeback in popularity.
