If you own any of these VHS you're sitting on a fortune

Time to have a rummage in the attic

If you own any of these VHS you're sitting on a fortune
01 April 2016

Grab a ladder. Right now, don't ask questions. 

Head to your loft. 

Locate that bin bag full of those VHS cassettes you stowed up there back in 1997 "just in case" - you sly old dog you.

The cause of this mad dash? To see if you have any of the most valuable VHS tapes sitting unnoticed in dark, damp storage.
