Not sure but have seen quite a few of my OOP stuff listed for high prices but not sure anyone would actually pay those outrageous amounts?

Conductorcise for an example:

I had all the Firms on VHS (except Ballroom Aerobics) in good condition when some of them were worth big $$$. I never took advantage and sold them, though.

Laughing about all the cutting of dolls' hair stories. We bought my first doll at a bazaar for 10 cents. I thought she was beautiful - long wavy hair. My younger brother and I promptly took her home, set up a rather elaborate barber shop and cut off all of her hair! She was so ugly after that. (Yah, I was a brat.)

eta: I think I have Classical Stretch Back Pain - that one is valuable???

Also, Lotte Berk titles are still available at Lotte Berk online store for a 4-pack for $32.95. I can never figure out why people don't buy from original sources that are often cheaper than the re-sale market.

Mtngoat - any CS that isn't available on the website is very affordable for people who want to buy it. Like CS Season 5 (1/2 the set) sold for 80 dollars on ebay last week. (But then you have the people who are selling back pain relief for like 132 dollars. I have to wonder if anyone is actually buying them). I love what Classical Stretch is doing for me, and will gladly pay for it on the website, when I have the money but I would never ever overpay, not even for an OOP. My offer for an OOP would probably be about 10-20 dollars more than I would buy for it on the website - and that's all. Anything else I think is greedy. I could never ask for 3x the price for something.

I decluttered a huge chunk of my videos, and a lot of them were OOPs or rare dvds and I've just bartered for things I needed. As long as I gain something from it (even if it's just happiness over the fact I made someone happy) that's good enough for me.

I have tons of barbies.. though never butchered their hair.

I have KS Power Step (DVD) and that one is now selling for 4x what I paid for it!

I also have the Firm's Transfirmer Box which I bought for $49.99 including 6 workouts (originals and Jiggle Free series) from TFD.com and the box alone sells for anywhere btw $125 and $150.

The Firm Cross Trainers Cardio Sculpt I bought for $17.99 brand new. I could sell it in the mid $20s.

I cut the hair on my Chrissy doll, when all I had to do was turn the knob on her back to shorten her hair. Oh well.

Tracy Anderson's Dance Aerobics. This was going easily for over $100 at some point, and now I'm not even sure one can find it on Ebay at all.

Nothing else comes to mind. I don't see dvds as a business venture, so I just get rid of (trade, give away) the ones I don't use over a certain period of time. A lot of workouts only increase in value because they're OOP; but many of those are OOP for a reason - they're not that great.

I know this is an old thread but I still have the first 6 Firm VHS collection in excellent condition but I am sure they aren't worth much now LOL

I've got Dream Body and some Jeanette Jenkins dvds that are going for ridiculous prices on amazon.
