CorningWare Scales – up to $10000
The CorningWare dinnerware that someone uses can be worth thousands of dollars right now. Such tableware with rare patterns like Floral Bouquet (made from 1871 to 1875) or Wildflower pattern (made from 1977 to 1984) are now selling for an incredible $10000. Even the most common ones with blue floral patterns can fetch a lot of money. This is of course a very specific kind of tableware, but who knows, maybe other old tableware you still have is also worth a lot of money, you can always ask. So look in your pantry now!
Polly Pocket Toys – up to $1900
This expensive toy became a favourite with children in the 1990s, and today you can sell it for a fair price. Like most things on this list, Polly Pocket toys have found their way to a second-hand marketplace, where they have been introduced as a pricey collector’s item. In August 2019, full sets of Polly Pocket toys were priced at around $1900. Even Polly Pocket accessories are now valuable too. Someone sold a Polly Pocket pencil case in July 2019 for $810 on a second-hand marketplace.
Silverware – up to $17500
Many women, past and present, love to collect beautiful silverware such as spoons, knives and forks. No matter how absurd some men think it is, no one can stop them. And who says it was just a waste of time? Women have just proved once again that mothers know best. Maybe you too have someone in your family who collected silverware. You never know how much it might be worth. To give you an example, an 84-piece Tiffany service from 1905 goes for $4975 on a second-hand marketplace. If that doesn’t surprise you, a silver cutlery set produced in 1927 was auctioned for $17500 in 2011. These are, of course, outlandish prices, so I’d say take a chance.
