Wow, I'm surprised nobody knows this Sharp VC-6800 VCR.
This was the very first VHS VCR ever made and released by Sharp, along it being the world's first front-loading VCR ever made in history. It was also the first VCR ever made with a time remaining counter (how many minutes left till end).
Sharp was the only VHS VCR manufacturer to put a gold-color video head (not chrome like all makers) from 1979-1981. I don't know if this was better or worse, but I do like the color. This one uses a pulley motor with a flat belt to spin the gold-color video head, the only VCR I saw.
I used to own one back in 2006 that I bought from eBay for only $30. Put in new belts and kept it for 1 year, and I sold it back for $300 on eBay. The buyer bought it but never used it and put it in storage. I'm surprised to find another VC-6800 as I told him there will never be another VC-6800 listed again on eBay. It's an ultra-rare model.
The OP can sell this on eBay with a $300 buy it now price plus shipping at anytime, and it will sell. No, I think $500 is more appropriate.
