3. Vintage Toys
Vintage toys may hold sentimental value to you, but if you’re ready to let them go, you may end up struggling to make money fit into your wallet. And no, this is no scam!
To give you an idea, a gorgeous antique rocking horse made by Frederick Henry Ayres is available on Etsy right now and is priced at $2,480! Another treasure we discovered in the same marketplace is a vintage Strauus Boob McNutt from the 1920s, still in its original box. The price? $1,017!
And let’s not forget about yours or your children’s Teddy Bears; the older they are, the more they are worth. There was an auction in Monaco in 2000 where a Steiff Louis Vuitton Bear was sold for a record-breaking price of *drums, please* $2.1 million!!
The point here? No matter what old toys you have in your basement, check Etsy and eBay for prices.

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$. Mine was in better shape and sold for 19000$
Congratulations!
Try looking them up on eBay.

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!
Record albums galore and wondering where to go to get what they are worth.
