workouts in your collection that have appreciated in value?

now, i know amazon sellers' pricing might be based on an algorithm.

but just looking at some of these outrageous prices for the following titles (that i happen to own) i have to shake my head:

bar method (fat free, designer sculpting)
lotte berk method
crunch superslimdown

I have Crunch Super Slimdown too. It's a great workout, but I wouldn't pay that price for it!
But if you live in the US, you can buy the download for $9,99 from Amazon.

I am not sure how much they are going for now but I have the two DVDs of Classical stretch season 5, both acquired in VF trades. They are now out of print and going for quite a bit of money on ebay from what I hear. I don't do them that often but I don't think I will ever sell or trade them.

I saw yesterday that the original three separate Kukuwa dvds are listed for over $40 each at Amazon. A very kind vf friend gave me hers, which I"m keeping

. I think the compilation dvd is listed at an even higher price.

I have those two original Bar Method DVDs - they're a cornerstone of my investment portfolio.

ETA the big tragedy is that no one gave me a Barbie when I was a small girl. It would now be in mint condition & worth a fortune.

Hands down, Minna Lessig's One Minute Workout. I have 2 copies of it actually, one with minor scratches and one in perfect condition. I can't ever see myself getting rid of this workout but do I really need 2 copies of it?

If I let the perfect one go, I could make a pretty penny off it, the scratched one plays just fine. But I am hesitant for some reason.

I let Kathy Smith's Power Step go years ago and really regretted it, just bought it back. Won't make that mistake again. That one is pricey too.

Another that comes to mind it Crunch's Step Workout DVD with the 2 workouts on it.
Also Winsor Buns/Thighs.

This I mark as one of the great tragedies of my childhood. I still remember the black glitter strapless Bob Mackie gown that was in magazines and on store shelves, but--no Barbie doll to wear it. Nope. Not one.

I have 2 copies of Classical Stretch Season 5, I've seen them listed for over $200, but I've only been offered $120. I have the two OOP Bar Methods, still new & sealed. Not sure how much those are worth. I also have 5 new & sealed copies of Ali McGraw's Yoga Mind & Body. I saw those going for over $200 at one time on Amazon & Ebay, but now you can find them for $14 - are they no longer OOP??
Oh no, are the Lotte Berks now OOP? I just got rid of 2 of mine.

I'm a terrible businessperson. I had one of the original Bar Methods and was ready to sell it on Amazon. I think there were two copies available and they were asking $69. I listed mine for $20 and it sold within 24 hours. I just can't overprice things like that with a clear conscience.
