Pez Dispensers – up to $32205
Although these toys are made to this day, there is just something about the older ones that attract collectors. Without you realising it, these are worth much more than you think. Although there are millions of Pez machines in the world, some are rarer than others and can be worth thousands. The very first PEZ was released in 1927 in Vienna, Austria. And you probably didn’t know it yet, but these PEZ vending machines were made with the aim of convincing people to stop smoking. They even came up with the slogan: “Smoking prohibited, PEZs allowed”. And what will it be worth? In 2006, for example, the Astronaut B made for the 1982 World Expo was sold on a second-hand marketplace for $32,205.
Old Magazines – up to $156000
You probably never thought about it before when you bought a magazine, but they can be worth a lot of money now. And have you been saving old magazines? Congratulations to those who like to hoard old magazines, as regular copies can fetch around $20 and the rare versions are now worth a fortune. In 2007, a copy of Beeton’s Christmas Annual 1887 sold for $156000. Old fashion magazines usually sell best, especially to designers who like to use them for inspiration. So I think it is time to dig through your collection and see how much money they can be worth.
Barbie Dolls – up to $220000
There are still many children who play with the cute Barbie dolls, and more and more of them are available. Barbie dolls do not sound like something that would be worth a lot of money one day, but they are. This is because there are many collectors so the demand for certain dolls is high. An ordinary Midnight Tuxedo Barbie can be sold for about $1000, while the 1959 Blonde Barbie goes for a staggering $23999. Bettina Dorfman, the world’s biggest fan of Barbie dolls (as pictured above), owns more than 17,000 Barbie dolls worth $220000. Maybe you have a special Barbie doll that can make you rich.
