Will PAL VHS video tapes play in USA ??

Options
Hi I want to sell a video that can fetch a really good price in America.
The markings on the case are PAL VHS does this mean that it will play in USA.

TIA

  • If the american has a PAL VCR
  • American standard is NTSC.

    Although we have DVD and video players that play both formats, players that play both in America aren't as common.

    If you were to sell it, I make it very clear that you're selling a PAL version.

    If it is valuable you could consider having a NTSC copy made or copying it to DVD.

    If it's a bought video or recorded off the tv then obviously this would not be legal.
