90s Kids Shows on DVD: What’s Worth Money on eBay
Nostalgia can pay, big time. In Issue #75 of Flip Weekly I picked up The Complete Animated X-Men Series on DVD in a thrift store for just $15 – a show that came out in 1992. That complete series sells for over $200. It got me thinking… which DVD’s from my childhood are actually worth buying in a thrift store or garage sale and which ones should be left behind?
Turns out, not everything I loved as a kid translates to value. I would’ve bet rent money that CatDog was a solid pickup, but the complete series barely cracks $30 on a good day.
On the flip side, some of these 90’s shows are absolute goldmines. One of the biggest surprises was Arthur, the aardvark with the little sister D.W. The show ran for 25 seasons but just 4 seasons on DVD can make you over $200.
Honestly, some of these prices are wild. Others are a bit underwhelming but either way, below you’ll find the ultimate list of which 90s kids TV shows are worth buying out in the wild when you see them on DVD and which ones are best left behind.
If you don’t want to digest all of the information below, click here for my winners and losers in this category.
Note a few things in this table: the prices are in AUD, accurate as of the date of publishing, for the complete series, excludes any limited edition box sets or special editions and averaged when applicable. This is meant as a guide only, it is not financial advice. Be real.

The group is given a wedding planner, a $5000 budget and 7 days to create the perfect wedding for the couple, who has no say in any of the planning. | $53.00 | I never saw this show, maybe because it was outside the 90's. I wouldn't bother. |
 | Franklin (1997) | A young turtle named Franklin learns social lessons as he grows up with his family and friends. | $140.00 | I saw a Franklin clip the other night that was heartbreaking. Watch it on YouTube here and buy the DVD if you find it. |
 | Freakazoid! (1995) | Washington, D.C. has a new defender: Freakazoid. The comedy and insanity never stop when he's around, and he's only one of the weird heroes of the series. It's better than a nice tub of good things. | $130.00 | Only 2 seasons of Freakazoid! making the ROI worth buying. |

 | Inuyasha (2000) | A teenage girl periodically travels back in time to feudal Japan to help a young half-demon recover the shards of a jewel of great power. | $40.00 | Anime usually does well in terms of sell through rate and average sale price but Inuyasha doesn't even crack the $50 threshold. |

Worth it for most people. |

Helping Jackie and Jade is Uncle, a cantankerous but wise antiquities expert. | $60.00 | Very little demand for Jackie Chan Adventures. Horrible sell through rate. Avoid. |

 | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993) | A team of teenagers with attitude are recruited to save Angel Grove from the evil witch, Rita Repulsa, and later, Lord Zedd, Emperor of all he sees, and their horde of monsters. | $55.00 | Maybe because it's free on YouTube the value isn't there. |

 | My Little Pony 'n Friends (1986) | The story of a human named Megan in a world of magical ponies and their adventures together in Pony Land. | $160.00 | I can never bring myself to buy anything My Little Pony. Maybe if I find the complete series on DVD. |

When the image of a great mouse-warrior begins to speak to him, he realizes that his destiny is to be the successor to a great warrior. | $80.00 | A high sell through rate and sneaky high sale prices.

 | Sister, Sister (1994) | Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell are twins separated at birth who learn of each other's existence as teenagers and reunite. | $280.00 | Surprisingly difficult to find, worth a fortune. $280 is on the low side. |

They must fight Dr. Piranoid as well as finding their father once and for all... | $30.00 | You think Street Sharks and you think value... not so much with DVD's. |
 | Superman: The Animated Series (1996) | The last son of the planet Krypton protects his adoptive home of Earth as the greatest of the superheroes. | $50.00 | Similar to Batman: The Animated Series. Not a home run but you'll always find a buyer for this classic. |

 | The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990) | A streetwise, poor young man from Philadelphia is sent by his mother to live with his aunt, uncle and cousins in their Bel-Air mansion. | $50.00 | Supply outweighs demand. I wouldn't recommend. |

| $82.76 | on Blu-Ray |
| $30.00 | Even combined with the movies Mr Bean isn't worth a whole lot. Oversaturated. |

| $125.00 | I've never come across the full series before (9 seasons) but it looks to be worth picking up. |
| $48.00 | I actually found this in the thrift the other day. Multiple volumes, bad individual DVD prices. Not much profit to be made. |
| $220.00 | Find it cheap in a box set or hope you can scour all of the individual seasons together cheaply. Big payday. |

| $40.00 | Great show, not much value, sell through rate below 50%. |
| $35.00 | Might be cursed with being too collectible therefore worth nothing. |
| $208.00 | 100% worth looking into. Volume 3 seems to sell for $300 alone. Complete series at $200. Do a deep dive! |

| $80.00 | A lot of different Yu-Gi-Oh series, look at each one. Can go for up to $500 and above. |
Winners and Losers
We have just uncovered a treasure trove worth of valuable physical media. Some of these prices, I mean… $1,600 for 3 seasons? $750 for just 1 season? The prices are insane. On the flip side, it’s sort of sad to see my favourite shows selling for next to thing. Bittersweet, in most cases it means it’s now readily available for people to watch which means more eyeballs on it. That’s fine with me. Anyway, let’s go through the Winners & Losers.
The Unfortunate Leave Behind Losers 📉
CatDog – a Nickoledeon staple and personal favourite but sadly the complete series is barely worth $30. Turns out it’s too popular and too mass produced.
The Magic School Bus – always your favourite show to watch when the teacher rolled in the TV stand but even the complete series barely sells.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air – Will Smith is floundering in the DVD market but that’s all I’ll say before he pays us a visit and slaps us in the face.
The Glorious BOLO Winners 💰
The Amanda Show – holy crap, this literally blew my mind. Three seasons… yes, three… sold for $1,600. If you see this in the wild and pass on it, I’ll pull a Will Smith and pay you a vist.
Arthur – just four seasons can get you over $200! This show ran for years upon years, can you imagine if you somehow found them all?
Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat – I wasn’t a cat person until I saw this. $750 for a 1 series show? 1 DVD? Absolutely insane demand and one I will always look out for.
