"VHS Tapes: A Potential Solution for Gen Xers' Student Debt Crisis?"

A TikTok video by a thrifter and reseller claiming that certain rare VHS tapes could help pay off student loans has gone viral. The video highlights tapes like Pixar's "Cars" and "Star Wars" that have reportedly sold for thousands of dollars on eBay. However, some TikTok users are skeptical of these listings, suggesting that shill bidding may be inflating the prices. Collectibles expert Ilena Di Toro advises caution, stating that while some items may have value, it's important not to expect them to pay off significant debts.
