--- Things in Your House That Could Be Worth Money ---

It will surely interest you to know that you can make money without ever leaving your home. There are a few household items worth a lot of money that are probably in your possession right now. It is very possible that some of your old belongings masquerading as junk are actually serious money makers.
Let’s go through a few list of some valuable household items

TYPEWRITER

Typewriters are a standard fixture in most offices up to the 1980s. Thereafter, they began to be largely supplanted by computers. Nevertheless, they remain common in some parts of the world, are required for a few specific applications, and are popular in certain subcultures. In many Indian cities, typewriters are still used, especially in roadside and legal offices due to a lack of continuous, reliable electricity.
Typewriters are a thing of the past, but that is just the point. Antique typewriters are among old household items worth a lot of money to the right buyer. Some models go for anywhere between $200 and $560 only because they look fashionable. Just make sure they’re in good shape and functional. The older, the better.

OLD CELLPHONE

If you still have your old cell phone hanging around, it is time to sell it. The technology advances so rapidly that outdated phones are now ubiquitous. A few old phones are actually worth a pretty penny. For instance, a 1983 Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, one of the first wireless phones ever produced, recently sold at auction for $550. Such a high price tag is common too, as similar phones have sold for around the same price.

DOLLS

Apparently, dolls of all kinds are also one of the weird household items worth a lot of money. So it’d be wise to conduct a little internet research about old dolls in your possession before you throw them out or draw on their faces.
For example, “Out of print” American Girl dolls fetch roughly $5,000 on eBay. So do Cabbage Patch Kids. It is a fact to say “dolls are worth big dollars.”

COOKIE JAR

That old cookie jar on your countertop is a hot collectible right now if it’s from the ’40s or ’50s. An Uncle Mistletoe Marshall Fields cookie jar from the 1950s recently sold for $1,200. But you don’t have to have a Marshall Fields version to reap the cash. Cookie jars in the shape of a popular figure, like an iconic cartoon figure, go for $US200 to $US500.
