5 things we can really make money on

If you want to make a lot of money, look in your closet or garage where you usually keep things you don't need. All old junk can be profitably sold online. Perhaps you already have expensive rarities, but you don't know it yet.

We've compiled a list of the oldest things people are willing to pay for.

1. Empty boxes.

Reading magazines about finance and banking is good, but sometimes the ways to earn money can be much simpler than different financial and banking schemes. People all over the world are willing to pay for things that matter to them. For example, an eBay buyer estimates that an American Girl doll box sells for $45. The question is who needs it? Perhaps this buyer is a collector. You can sell electronic equipment boxes. Old iPhone boxes sell for around $10 at online auctions.

2. Paper artifacts.

Paper-printed materials can cost money. Movie lovers are willing to pay a lot of money for old posters, program booklets, and tickets. Pre-World War II posters sell for hundreds of dollars. Of course, this does not apply to mass materials.

3. Discontinued products and products with an unusual taste.

You can make money by selling unusual products online. But do not confuse this with expired products. Buyers are willing to pay any amount for hair dye, toys, and cosmetics. If you have something rare (not old enough), sell it. People also prefer to buy food with a unique taste.

4. Toilet paper rolls and Kinder Surprise eggs.

Do not rush to throw away toilet paper rolls and chocolate egg capsules. There are people in our world who are willing to pay for these things. 100 paper rolls sell for $15 on eBay and 50 Kinder Surprise egg capsules for $4. If you are interested in who needs it, the answer is simple - lovers of needlework.

5. Perfumes and cosmetics.

Perfume from the 70s is sometimes 10 times more expensive than their newer counterparts. For example, European fans of the classics often buy vintage Chanel. However, if you are lucky enough to get a few empty bottles, don't worry. Sometimes old bottles are more expensive than modern perfumes.
