I still have my Pioneer Laserdisc player and about 50 laserdiscs... looking at ebay 

They can do quite well, The discs not so much. Selling electronics on ebay is not for the weak of heart though.

I'm not so sure. It's one thing to do a vinyl collection. But I can't ever imagine wanting to watch a movie in truly awful quality while I could watch it in HD/BluRay/Stream. Unless you are visually impaired, I don't think nostalgia alone would convince me to watch something of substantially lesser quality.

 

The only thing I can think of is if you have an original release of a movie on VHS that ended up being remastered later. Like before they made the changes/updates to the original Star Wars trilogy, although I think even the original version of those may have made it out on DVD before that happened, but I'm not certain. Either way, I know those original versions are worth a lot more today.

We still have a VCR at home.  I almost prefer it to DVDs, because I swear every DVD I've ever owned or rented has at least 1 scene that skips.  Yes that's an exaggeration, but still it's annoying.

It's probably from the dual layering that a lot of DVD's use.
