Is your basement neat and clean or so cluttered that you can’t seem to find anything in there? Chances are, there’s more money in your underground space than you realize, especially if yours falls in the latter category. There’s no shame, though. With work and household duties, cleaning and organizing your basement probably comes in 10th place.
But once in a while, it’s nice to do that and realize you’ve been storing some things that you’ve even forgotten about. The best surprise is when you learn that some of those items you’ve been storing there for ages are actually worth a fortune!
If you can’t remember the last time you decluttered your basement, then you definitely should prioritize it! Not just because it will help you keep everything down there organized, but there’s a good chance you’ll also find some potential moneymakers. Yep, that’s right!
Since decluttering can be a real burden, I’m coming up with a recommendation that can help you efficiently organize your house. This book has some great advice on how to eliminate clutter in your house—attic and basement included.
Without further ado, here are 10 things that collect a lot of dust in your basement and could generate a great chunk of money!

I have 3 or 4 items I would like to know how to sell them. Where do I go to see what they are worth if anything.
Google any results of auctions of the items you have. That’s what I did and found out an old campbells soup sign sold for 16000$. Mine was in better shape and sold for 19000$
Try looking them up on eBay.
I have plenty of vinyl’s, one very old typewriter portable and playboy magazines.

Good Evening,
How much do you think an old ceramic piggy Avon lotion bottle worth?
I got three large boxes of the original Star Wars stuff that’s never been opened or out of the box. I forgot it was there and just found it. I got it when the base was getting rid of it all when they were closing down. I bought 3 shopping carts full for the kids and put it away. Then we moved and the rest is history. Never even looked at it.
Don’t open the boxes!
