10 expensive items that everyone probably has in their home
Did you know that you have treasures in your home that can bring you good money when sold? No, we are not talking about jewelry or expensive antiques.
In this article we will tell you which ten items that you probably have lying around on the mezzanine or in the garage could be worth a whole lot of money.
If the foam Snow Maiden and Father Frost still stand under some New Year trees, then everyone has probably already gotten rid of the awkward, partially broken glass toys... And in vain! Now many collectors are buying such jewelry for decent money, since they have no analogues anywhere else in the world and never will. Particular attention should be paid to toys with clothespins - these can cost more.
Soviet plates, spoons, forks and other cutlery are also in demand among buyers of everything rare and unusual. For example, legendary dishes with the Navy logo and blue edging can cost from 1,000 rubles each. So don’t rush to throw the dishes in the trash, but rather put them up for auction and hide them in a closet waiting for a buyer.
The current generation is so saturated with modern technologies that they are slowly beginning to return to “vintage” entertainment. Including game consoles. It’s hard to surprise anyone with a PlayStation 4 or Xbox now, but a Nintendo Game Boy from the 90s or a simple “Tetris” game is a completely different matter.
We don’t know how you can part with these cute figures, but we can’t hide it from you either. Like many other throwback items, Kinder Surprise toys are highly sought after by collectors. In addition, they are also bought by mere mortals who lack a hippo or penguin like yours to be completely happy.
Some people remember well the tricks with Pokemon that prevented them from dying of boredom during a lesson or recess. Many have long since sent them to landfills, others keep them in order to be able to periodically experience nostalgia, but some have found a more practical use for them - they put them up for auction. Now chips and cards are much more expensive, and they sell out very quickly. The most expensive card is from Pikachu 1998. Only five of these were produced, so its cost reaches 200 thousand dollars!
Our grandparents kept many “artifacts” from their youth, which can now be worth a lot of money. For example, old coins - they are most likely lying around in your closet somewhere or given to children. Many of them cost a fortune and you don't even know it. Carefully study your “savings” and numismatics sites - perhaps a nickel is actually worth a million.
Nowadays such clocks can only be seen in our grandmothers’ houses, and even then not in all of them. And also, of course, in antique shops, which buy them at a variety of prices. For example, you can try to sell the “Spring” watch for 3-4 thousand rubles, and the less famous “Yantar” - for 1-2 thousand. Not much, but nice.
Instead of handing over old books to waste paper, receiving pennies for it, it’s worth looking to see if there are any exclusive rare editions among them. For example, for the book “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in the first edition you can get 3 million rubles. The remaining books are unlikely to cost as much, but they may also be of interest to someone.
Crystal vases, ashtrays, glasses and other items still stand in sideboards in many apartments. No one has been using them for a long time, but it’s a shame to throw them away. And rightly so! Why throw it away if you can sell it? On many sites for collectors you can find advertisements for the purchase of various products made from this material. We don’t promise you millions, but you can definitely earn a couple of thousand.
With the advent of online cinemas, this format was forgotten forever, but many still have discs and tapes somewhere in the far corners of their cabinets. If you are also one of these lucky ones, we have good news for you: the time has already come when a video tape or disk (that's what you kept them for?) can be sold for good money. For example, a VHS tape about a killer refrigerator was once sold on eBay for more than $200.
