Any Vintage Toy Might Be Valuable 

If you are going through your grandmother’s estate, pay attention to vintage toys. Most are worth some money, and some are worth thousands. Before you toss the boxes in the attic that have gathered dust for decades, take a look at what is stored inside.

Anything from the original Star Wars from 1978 can be valuable. A Luke Skywalker Action Figure can get you $25,000. Even better, if you have the original Boba Fett it could be as much as $32,000.

With the popularity of games rising, interest in games of the past is following the trend. An original Monopoly game can fetch you a tasty $146,500. Don’t toss these games even if they are missing pieces.

Not every old car is worth money, but some are worth a ton like the Volkswagen Beach Bomb from 1969 that is currently worth $150 grand. You may not be able to figure out how that old track goes together, but you might want to hang onto it a little longer.
