Is cleaning out yours or a relative's attic on your "to do " list? You may not realize it but some of the stuff you are about to give to Goodwill or put in the dumpster could be worth a lot of money. Here is a list of some items to look out for: * Original Tupperware -- Wonderlier Bowl sets from the 40s and 50s or Astro Bowls from the 70s sell for $30 on eBay. * Vintage Cookbooks -- One from the 18th and 19th centuries sell for $50. The Joy of Cooking has a price tag of $1,000, and Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbook is worth hundreds. * Pyrex Kitchenware -- a 4 piece mixing bowl set is worth $65 today. * VHS Tapes -- Ones like Back to the Future, Jaws or Star Wars that are still in the shrink wrap can be worth thousands. * Retro Video Tapes -- Super Mario Brothers once sold for $660,000. 1980's furniture, perfume bottles, Retro advertising, classic typewriters, antique rugs, holiday ornaments, Scouts memorabilia, vintage t-shirts (especially rock groups and Harley Davidson), signed yearbooks, old magazines, cookie jars, cassette tapes, first-edition books, vintage toys, and vintage vinyl records are all worth money. You can just take a picture of the item with Google Lens and see what its value is.
