Things You Have at Home That are Worth More Than You Thought

If you are one of those who ”keep everything” you are in luck, because surely, among that hodgepodge of boxes that inhabit the storage room, great treasures are hidden that any collector would be willing to buy at a high price. Will you accompany us to discover what are those highly valued objects? We assure you that you will be surprised!

1. FIRST EDITIONS OF BOOKS

If you have in your hands the first edition of a book such as, for example, Baudelaire’s Las Flores del malyou could sell it for 170,000 euros. At least at that price, we have found it on eBay. However, it is not necessary to go so far back in time, the first editions of sagas like Harry Potter also have a great value among collectors (yes, at a much lower price than the French poet’s book).

2. ANTIQUE RECORD PLAYER

It’s a fact: music lovers abound on eBay. We know this because we have searched the web for old record players and have seen these music fans pay up to 5,000 euros for the record player of their dreams.

3. WALKMANS

They blew it in the eighties (remember your endless collection of cassette tapes). Now,  Walkmans have made a comeback, and older or limited-edition models are selling for around 1,500 euros. After all, fashion is cyclical.

5. DISNEY MOVIES ON VHS

Oh, VHS movies, what times were those … Do you remember how boring it was to wait for them to be rewound? Well, all those who decided to keep their Disney movies in this format are in luck, because eBay sellers are asking up to 850,000 euros for the factory’s most exclusive tapes.

6. TYPEWRITERS

Despite the rise of laptops, many nostalgic people still prefer the sound of a typewriter. Inspired by their literary heroes, like Hemingway or Kerouac, these collectors could give you more than 3,000 euros for your old typewriter. Everything will depend on the model and the state it is in.

7. FURBIES

They arrived in 1998 and conquered homes around the world. Today, these strange stuffed animals called Furbies who communicate with us through curious voice messages, continue to be the object of desire of many collectors. The rarer editions with their original box can be sold for 1,000 euros.
