The collectability of VHS currently is through the roof, however you have to be highly into the hobby to know what you are looking for.
The collectable copies going for these prices are not the ones you bought at a Best Buy in the 90's. The copies of value are those that the older of us remember in the early days of VHS. These early 80's releases were for video store use only and prohibitively expensive. Each copy was around 89 dollars as the video store was going to make it back in rentals. Your average person seldom owned a original copy of a movie.
They have grading for VHS, just like video games and cards. If you did have a graded perfect condition VHS first release rental copy of Star Wars it would assuredly be worth an astonishingly large amount, like 58k at Goldin.
