Any Star Trek buffs out there that might be able to give me an estimate?

On a collection of 32 video tapes of the original series. They are in mint condition. I'm going to place them on Ebay for a friend whose husband passed away a couple of years ago. He was a huge Star Trek fan and owned these tapes.

1. I would have no idea what a estimate might be but there is a

Science Fiction Group on DU that might be of help.

2. Good idea

3. Or check Ebay for similar past auctions? n/t

4. I did but they didn't have anything exactly like this

5. Any sci-fi-themed collectors/bookstores/etc in your area?

They could probably help with an estimate. It might be nothing much, it might be a great deal, depending on the quality and editions..

6. I'd say they're worth about...

...zero.

I'm really sorry, but with the complete series out on DVD twice, first on individual discs and now in complete season sets, VHS really isn't going to be worth much. The shipping will probably be more than the tapes are worth.

It's a shame, since those things cost a fortune, too.

7. Not necessarily. If a serious collector comes along,

Original tapes in original packaging might have a big pull, especially since it's a complete set. In addition, I hear the new DVD's exclude some scenes.
