Fancy taking a gander at the upper crust of DVD resale riches?

The top 15 priciest discs have been tallied above. Tracy shares her pearls of wisdom: "Collectable value can be due to rarity, different variants to the norm, oddities (misspelling on DVD cases or books), nostalgia - people buying back their memories, limited edition and basic supply and demand.

"There are so many reasons things are collectable. People don't always recognise they have things of value which is why they turn to valuers like me or do their own research online. Always research to ensure you get the best price achievable for your collectable by looking to see what similar items have sold for in the past.

"Find the perfect selling platform, that could be an auction selling site or a retail site. I prefer an auction with collectables as there is the option for worldwide visibility and also is more likely to encourage people to bid before the item expires, people love a deadline.

"Start at a reasonable price and have a reserve in place so the item won't sell for less than you want. End the listing at the right time and day - Sunday night between 8 and 9pm is perfect as people are home relaxing browsing the internet."

Tracey believes that alongside DVDs, CDs could be the next items to explode in value. She added: "The 1990s are making a stir in the collectable market as younger generations are buying into this decade.

"DVDs are one of the hot areas at present and examples from the 90s and 00s are starting to achieve interesting prices. For example, horror movies have always realised the most on the secondary market as people love scary movies and the complete Halloween movie DVDs to date sell for around £150-£200.

"Another area to watch is 90s Hip Hop and Dance music CDs as these are something likely to become desirable in the future."
