Tom Wilson, who played Biff Tannen, the main antagonist of Marty McFly. According to MySanAntonio, he even left a note for the winning bidder:

"This is a VHS tape of the first release of Back to the Future, sent to me by the studio at the time," Wilson went on: Since I knew that the VHS platform would be around forever, I saved it for later and now I can’t find a VCR. Oh well. Enjoy!"

The man truly has a sense of humor. It even came with a photo of him holding the videotape up for grabs. Now the real question, how far do we have to back in time to get the film before him?
