Although DVD has become the preferred video format for most movie watchers, many people haven't made the upgrade from VHS quite yet. Some folks simply feel that VHS is fine the way that it is. Unlike DVD, VHS tapes feature only the movie without superfluous bonus material that never gets watched, and the image is rarely obscured by black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

As more people and video rental stores abandon VHS, purists who still support the format can now purchase movies at fractions of their original price tags. Many people are now selling their old VHS collections at online auction websites. Even video stores are auctioning off their ex-rentals and leftover VHS stock to make more room for DVDs.

When browsing internet auction websites for wholesale VHS movies, you will notice that mixed lots are what most sellers are offering. In most cases, people selling their personal VHS collections simply want to get rid of all their movies at once. The same is often true for video rental stores, but you may come across movie lot auctions where tapes have been grouped together by genre, for example.

Because most people no longer want to own or watch VHS movies, auctions for wholesale VHS lots often sell for ridiculously low prices. You may be able to find a lot of 50 wholesale VHS movies for as little as $10 plus shipping. Regardless of whether you're still supporting VHS, there's no denying that VHS movie shoppers can find some amazing deals on the Internet.
