Retro Video Games
Video games from the 1990s are today’s hot collectibles. Liberate yours from storage, check online listings for similar titles, and score big bucks.
Vinyl Records
They’re making a comeback because of their “warm” sounds. If they’ve been kept in climate-controlled storage, vinyl should be ready to play for profit.
Card Collections
From Star Wars to baseball legends, collectible card sets gather dust in storage. Dig yours out and compare current prices on different auction sites.
Old Comic Books
If they date back to the 1960s, they may have powerful resale potential. Many old comic books in storage are valuable antiques prized by collectors willing to pay a premium.
Classic Toys
From Barbie dolls to Super Soaker guns, classic toys are always a fun way to cash in on stored treasures. Anything in original packaging is usually worth extra dollars.
Timeless Books
First editions by J.K. Rowling, Dr. Seuss, and A.A. Milne are great examples of valuable finds in storage. Check online sites that track the prices of old books.
Antique Furniture
That 1950s dining set in your storage unit is officially an antique. Rummage through old furniture and show promising pieces to a local antique appraiser.
Heirloom China and Silverware
Dust off stored china and silverware. Compare their marks to online examples. You may have heirloom tableware highly valued by collectors.
Costume Jewelry
It doesn’t have to be real to be valuable. Unbox those bracelets, brooches, and rings. Look for designer names like Trifari, Haskell, and Sarah Coventry.
Commemorative Newspapers
In 2010, a box of newspapers published the day Elvis died sold for $90,000. Did you save copies of a special edition that might be considered history today?
