The days of scoring huge profit items at garage sales and thrift stores are pretty much over, since most people will check ebay for values now. I rarely find stuff in the wild that was overlooked.
About 18 years ago my daughter pointed out to me just how stupid I was for selling my 1965 Pepsi machine for $250 at a garage sale by pulling up eBay examples. At that time I didn’t think to investigate the real value!!
That’s the truth !!! They can have something worth .25 cents and will put $10.00 on it now !!!!
Its true. Ive been collecting vintage toys for over 40 years. Gone are the days of finding anything you collect cheap. Flippers have destroyed collecting.
I blame the picker/auction hunter shows.
@@tolfan4438 I got rid of TV years ago....is the Las Vegas guy still on???
Brings back memories. I think the only thing I still have from the 70’s is me. 🤣
Hi Jodie! 👋😁🇦🇺
Hi Paul 👋😁🇺🇸
Well, that’s the most important thing that’s still around. 😂
Thank you for watching Paul! That's always the best thing to have is yourself!
I still have everything I owned from the 60's and 70's. Born in the 50's, I learned never to throw anything out unless it was just plain junk and to take care of things the best you can.
That's great that you kept everything! Thank you for watching shanty!
That’s because our parents couldn’t just go out and buy us new toys every month. You got toys and they better last awhile cuz that’s all you get til Xmas…lol
Everything???? Wow.
I still have an 8 track player and some cartridges.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have Tony! Those are cool to have!
I cry knowing i had some of these.........back then it was nothing to just toss things out when you were done with them😢
If things hadn't been played with or thrown out then they sure wouldn't be worth money now. We just helped the value! Haha!
Tonka toy trucks are awesome 😊
Yes they are. I had a lot of fun with those as a kid. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory no problem 🦈
Those tiger beat and simular magazines were very popular with the girls in high school and junior high in the late 70s this show brings back good memories 😂
My cousin had Donny Osmond posted all over her room from those magazines. My little sister was crazy for David Cassidy. My first crush was Peter Noone, I still Love his songs.
They were big and now things like that just aren't popular with girls anymore. Thank you for watching philip2010!
The 1970s will forever be the GOAT
It really was a great decade! Thank you for watching my friend!
Yes I totally agree with you, if you didn't live in those days you wouldn't understand.
We played with our toys back then. We didn't think of them as collector's items we weren't allowed to touch. (well ... I didn't)
You're right about that. If all of us never played with them then they wouldn't be worth money. Thank you for watching Tim!
That was when kids played with toys. I didn’t have much but, my Barbie and Ken were definitely used..!
That's because they lasted longer than cheap toys today.
One of the biggest downsides being a military family is that we often had to downsize when we moved since the Army would allot only so much weight for our household goods. We probably had a good number of these items but no longer have them. The one thing I do know that I have is a pyrex bowl that was my mothers and I use it often. I enjoyed this, Rhett.
Take heart - even civilian families eventually got rid of a LOT over time, usually through yard sales + charity drives, extending family needing them, and handing it down to kids moving out (who eventually wore them down and were fooled into “upgrading” to what turned out to be junk rather than repairing). You probably wouldn’t have what you got rid of earlier than most by now anyway 😉
It is rough and difficult to keep things when you are in the military. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories with us lesliehackney7519!
There’s nothing like sitting down on a Saturday with my cereal and coffee and watching your videos. Love it!
Thank you for watching and spending your Saturday mornings with me theurbangothsite !
Rhetty, I love you videos!! And more than for just the content. Your voice is very calming, and I just love listening to your narration. I always look forward to a new video every Sat morning!! Thanks so much for your labour of love! It really means a lot to me.
You're welcome and thank you for watching! I appreciate the kind words and I'm happy to know you are enjoying the videos!
You didn’t show these, but there are a few rare Wacky Packages stickers from the 70’s that are worth thousands$$$. Keep up the good work, Rhetty!
You're right about those Brian! Those were popular to collect. Thank you for watching!
I love the 70s!
Thanks for watching Scooby!
I still have some Avon and Sarah Coventry Jewelry from the 70's that my aunt gave me. She used to sell Avon and Sarah Coventry in the 70's. I also have a gold tone "Spirit Of '76" Commemorative coin pendant from the Bicentennial.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have. Those Avon parties used to be a big deal in the 1970s.
Thank you my friend!! Very interesting upload. I had all the Nancy Drew books growing up. Mom put them in the garage sale pile. ☹️
Thoroughly enjoyed this!! Thank you my friend 😊
You're welcome and thank you for watching leesashriber5097! It really is amazing to think about those Nancy Drew books remaining popular.
My older brother had the Mego Superman & we had a Fisher Price set of Sesame Street characters(Big Bird, Oscar, Cookie Monster, Bert + Ernie, Mr.Hooper, Susan + Gordon). Oscar's trash can was closed but u could push him up from the bottom with your pinky & see him. Lol, Ernie is the lone survivor. He currently sits on a shelf in my sister's house. 😄
Thank you for watching and sharing what you and your family have had. That is great that your sister still has Ernie!
I still have all my stuff! Love it and won't get rid of it.❤❤❤❤
That is cool that you have kept it all. I wish I had done that. Thank you for watching aariley2!
I still have some of my football cards from back then, also my Mom saved most of our old Christmas ornaments when we were kids. And my sister still has her collection of National Geographic magazines from the 70s. I wish I still had my giant Darth Vader action figure and Head to Head electronic football game. Thanks for your videos it brings me back to a better time in my life.
I still try to pick up Bicentennial items at yard sales and thrift stores.
Oh that's awesome Kirk! They really had some cool stuff that year. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have!
@@RhettyforHistory Well, my couch which I have had for ages is Bicentennial so I am trying to do a room with that theme
I’m in Australia and I found in an Op Shop (Thift Store) I found a shoe box full of new old stock iron/Sew on patches, and included was a bunch of American Bicentennial patches! I think I’ll try sell them on EBay? I think they need to get back over to the States where they belong
Kirk - that is cool that you are starting a room like that.
thebaronofbelco2615 - That's interesting to think about how those patches ended up over there.
@@RhettyforHistory It is fun and cheap right now. I got started with the couch, and a table then added other items.
I still have some of my Crazy Daisy pattern Pyrex and Corelle Butterfly Gold patterned dishes.
These still look great and I use them daily for decades!
All made in the USA.
They really are good to have. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have ingridfitz5677!
You forgot the most valuable of them all, a complete set of 1970s encyclopedias 🤣!
I had my Britannica encyclopaedias
Gotcha ya
It's hard to give those things away now. Haha! Thank you for watching!
Mom used to have a lot of the old Pyrex dishes and still uses a couple of bowls to this day.
They are really good to have. Thank you for watching and sharing what your Mom has!
Vintage Stereo Receivers , Amplifiers , ETC . Highly Collectable !
Yes they are. Thank you for watching rayinpau.s.a.6351!
There used to be a series of wooden trucks that were called "Putt Putt" in the 1970s. My mother left around 45 of these behind when the family moved from Montana to Alaska in 1973. I was devastated. I recently found several in an antique store with prices ranging from $125 to $10,000 depending on the model and condition. When I told my mother what I had found she was astonished that they were worth so much.
Those really are worth quite a bit. Does she remember leaving them? If so, I bet she is a little mad deep inside. She just might not admit it. Thank you for watching and sharing what you had.
Always great to see another video of yours!
Thank you for watching Russell!
The title of the video should be " If I knew then, what I know now"🤣
Good point Tammie! I sure wish I had known. Thank you for watching!
I still have my sister
Born 1979 😂
Thank you for watching BIGGER_RED!
I still have mine too, thank God. I love her so much!
I have a dawn doll, flatsy doll and Chrissy doll...among other things...I'm glad I saved them...
Every garage sale that I have had people always have asked for jewelry. My son now plays with my little people toys.
Sometimes people have no idea what they have in the way of jewelry. That's great your son is playing with you little people. Thank you for watching crazy8skml!
I have a cabbage patch doll (farmer)!! No box, but I have the papers to this doll!! Lastly, if you look at the back of the neck, you can see where it was made!! This doll was made here in the US (worth more)!! Most of them were made in other countries!!
I didn't realize those old ones were made in different countries. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have Charlene!
You forgot to include 1976 Bicentennial "drummer boy" quarters!! Most are only worth 50 cents but once in a while one can be worth thousands due mostly from misprint 😳
Unfortunately, i don't think any of us are gonna get "rich" off 1970's stuff but it was nice to see these retro items shown!! 😊
I didn't realize there a was a misprint on those quarters. I remember seeing tons of those when I was a kid. Who knows if one of those passed thru my hands. Thank you for watching pinksparkle258!
In the 70s when the Nancy drew and hardy boys shows came out they were popular and because of that the kids started to read the books from school library's or book stores and actually the books were good kids in the 70s actually read books
I loved reading and still do. Thank you for watching philip2010!
I also loved both series of books and those shows. 😊
What a great video! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome and thank you for watching Porchpraise1980!
I want some Pyrex sets and I have a bunch of vintage Corningware. Those cooking things from back then were made to hold up, and wasn’t made badly like todays items.
Some people are asking $1000s on eBay for 1970s Star Wars figures in their original packaging. Some have sold for $30K - $65K on other auction sites!
Early 1980s Masters Of The Universe fetch big $ too.
Old Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Dinky, Corgi etc are all popular with collectors.
Some things we buy at the store, become vintage as little as five years down the road. A vintage Eraser Mate pen 🖊 cartridge, that sold for $1.83, in 1983, can sell for $45.00 today. Thats if the cartridge has been left in its original packaging 📦. I've also seen LED wristwatches ⌚️ from the 1970's, retail for $800.00 at that time ⏲️. Today, ones in excellent condition, are going 👍 for $8000.00 on Ebay, and such. This was a wristwatch/pen gift 🎁 set. A gain of $7200.00!! Your friend, Jeff.
Those are definitely a huge mark up. I wish I had a whole box of those laying around. Thank you for watching and listing a few more items!
Thanks for the great Retro Content. I do have 1940's Lionel trains heavy and made of steel.👍🏻🇺🇲
You're welcome and thank you for watching ZMAN_420! You definitely have some of the great ones!
I had a whole set of Nancy Drew books-- I read them to my students every year.
Sorry for watching late had some bad weather and tornadoes here in the Midwest. But love you videos ❤thanks for the great videos ❤️
No worries at all Monika and I always appreciate you watching. I'm glad your ok but did you have damage where you are? There have definitely been some bad tornadoes this year.
@@RhettyforHistory thank God no damage, but scary when the siren starts and you have to go to the basement. So far so good we're blessed
I still have my Lite Brite, Baby Sweets from the Sunshine Family, 2 of the 3 original pieces from the Wolverine Snow White kitchen set along with all my original you food, and My Baby Beth baby doll! 😆
My girlfriend's uncle headed the design team that made the original Star Wars figures. He also came up with Strawberry Shortcakes, and Care Bears. Super sweet guy!
Excellent episode Rhetty! You showed the Lionel Wabash Cannonball set. The Wabash Cannonball was a passenger train. A section of the track goes right by my house! It is now a bike trail, but keeps the name of the train. I grew up in the 70s and wish I had kept more of my toys and such, but I did keep some of them. I still have all of my original run Star Wars action figures. I have the Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, and Ben Kenobi figures with the telescoping lightsabers. The Boba Fett figure was aquired by mailing in cereal box tops (remember when you did that sort of thing?). It was supposed to come with a missle in his backpack that could launch, but it caused injuries. I am not sure any made it in circulation though. I do have a Micronaut that does have a missle you can launch though. I also have an early printing (circa 1977) of the Star Wars soundtrack record in mint condition. I have a small collection of Matchbox cars as well, including a few "Sea Kings" warships. Those Pyrex dishes were quite durable. I won't say impossible to break, but darn near!
I wish I had kept more too Greg. Who knew that they would be valuable but I would love to have them just for the memories. I do have some but unfortunately I just didn't have room for what I had going into the military. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have.
My dad still has George Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass”. The triple album vinyl! Plus lots more classic rock records. My mom has her Mickey Mouse watch from that era. I still have my oak dresser from when I was a kid that was purchased in ‘77. I’ve had to replace the handles, but it’s still in decent condition. I have lots of 70’s pennies and a few Bicentennial (1976) quarters. I have some Beatles singles vinyls but those are from the the 60s and Star Wars toys from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, but those are from the 80s. Thanks again for another entertaining and nostalgic video!
You're welcome and thank you for watching stanford-nf4jk! I appreciate you sharing what you still have and it sounds like you have some great stuff from the decade.
70's and 80's items are hot right now due to us 70's and 80's kids entering our 50s and 60s and longing for a piece of our childhood. Unfortunately in the next couple decades when we are gone, people will be collecting 90s and early 2k stuff. Most collectors want to remember days from their particular past. However, there will always be those few true collectors that can appreciate all eras.
You're right about that collecting progression. Thank you for watching BigBadJohn7!
Wish I had my Hopalong Cassidy wristwatch from when I was a kid.
I'm big into 70's audio equipment. But I tend to look for a deal as far as yard & garage sales go. If someone is asking a crazy amount of money for something I tend to give it a quick glance and then move on. Because if I wanted to pay collectors price I'd go find an audio store that specialized in selling vintage equipment. I tend to look for "decent & useable" as far as appearance goes, which looks good enough with some blemishes from prior use but works so I can use it. Looking for anything in "Mint" or " New Unused" condition makes the price sky rocket. Especially with people who constantly misuse the phrase "Mint Condition" or "Near Mint Condition" and proceed to say whatever they're selling has a very minor blemish and is missing a knob, then askes an astronomical amount of money for it. In my head "Mint Condition" means absolutely no damage or blemishes, has all original dials intact and works perfectly.
I have Barbie, Ken and Skipper. The Pyrex, corning ware and some Avon jewelry.
I had that Avalon Hill baseball game. Lots of fun.
Very nice Chris! Thank you for watching and sharing what you had!
I find a lot of stuff in thrift store dumpsters in rich suburbs here in Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺
I have a relatively small wooden trunk my mom gave me. I use it to store electronics. My mom had owned it for decades. Still in good condition.
I think they are good to have. I have an old one too. Thank you for watching TheInkPitOx!
A number of those items I had. But as a kid you're not thinking about collecting them you just wanna play with them. I had all the original Star Wars action figures and the ships. I also had the 6 million dollar man action figure and there was a hole in his head that you could look through to see through his eyes at the other end. I know those gotta be worth something. The had kiss dolls, and Dukes of Hazzard trading cards, a toy shark based off the popularity of Jews that you had to try and carefully take stuff out of it's mouth or it'd snap it's jaws shut on you. I also had a green machine big wheel, it was better than the big wheel it was green and black, and I used to love riding that around and round the block. Oh all the memories.
You're right. What's the fun in having toys if you can't play with them? That's how they were meant to be. If we hadn't played with them or gotten rid of them then there wouldn't be any value at all. Thank you for watching!
My younger sister used to call her little Fisher-Price figures "people guys". The name stuck and I often forget what they're really called!
That's funny! It's close. Thank you for watching and sharing a memory of your sister.
You could add Matcbox cars and LEGO sets to the list. Also kind of along the lines of model trains is slot car track sets and individual slot cars. Let’s not forget guitars from the 70’s as well. Not just American made guitars either there are some highly collectible highly sought after Japanese guitars known for being great playing instruments. Cool video : )
Those old slot cars were a lot of fun! Thank you for watching and mentioning a few more valuable items form the decade.
“…could be worth $100!!” I remember when that was a lot. Trip to McDonalds costs my family nearly $100 to eat there now.
I bet an alternative album cover is worth hundreds or thousands.
Thank you for watching dillondelhoney714!
I STILL HAVE MY BARBIE DREAMHOUSE ALONG WITH THE ELEVATOR THAT WE PULLED THE STRING..
Oh how cool! Thank you for watching and sharing what you have vashtikelly6837!
I have pics of me on either my 1st or 2nd birthday '78, '79(?) and it was SUPERMAN themed. SUPERMAN cake, plates, cone hats, even pin the cape on SUPERMAN game. Anyway, in one of the pics.... a tall (like a foot and a half) plastic Superman doll. I SO wish I still had it.
I still have quite a few of my old toys. They include hundreds of hot wheels & matchbox cars. My 5 hot wheels tracks with the drag race track my favorite. I also still have that fisher price airport with everything but the little people,🤔 they got lost somehow but I'm sure they're on ebay! 😂
That's great that you still have some of your toys. I sometimes wonder how many perfectly good toys ended up in landfills. Thank you for watching Roger!
I'm just here to tell people not to put their sports cards in the spokes of their bikes. I did that with a Walter Payton rookie card. That's right. Ouch!
Oh yeah, that would have been a good one to have! Thank you for watching Joe!
I had an original Mego Batman with removable mask/cowl; though I have no idea what happened to it at this point.
That would be great to have today. Thank you for watching and sharing what you had.
I love my 70s candy colour Pyrex mixing bowls, I also some Corningwear.
Edit: I found a 70s Technics 1300 for $15 back in the 90s and still own it. The bad part was that I had replace the cartridge, which cost me 10× as much lol Still worth it.
Both the Pyrex and Corning are great to have. Thank you for watching and sharing some of what you have!
When the original Cars movie came out, I bought all of the characters that I could. Kept them packaged and have them stored away. Maybe, just maybe.
You may be right on that some day. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have!
I also have a few 16 magazines and Teen Beat and Tiger Beat magazines from back in my teen years . My favorites were David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, Leif Garrett, and Tony DiFranco. I still have some of the posters that were from those magazines.
The only thing l have from the 70s is a 1976 issue of TV Guide from when Gone With The Wind was first shown on television.
Would have liked to have seen the viewmaster viewers… we still have some around the one with the light and the projector
Those Pyrex bowls… I see them EVERYWHERE at yard sales and antique stores. They want too much for them and people are not paying the ridiculous high prices. The market is saturated with those bowls and casserole pans
I've met some really creepy Barbie collectors....
Thank you for watching imeanithonest5704!
Can you do more 90s memorabilia
Pyrex from before they were bought out is highly sought after because of the durability and heat resistance.
They were really good to have and still are. Thank you for watching lainiwakura1776!
There's a local guy who visits the nearby Christian service center and he combs through all of the donated toys looking for older stuff,as well as the local yard sales and other donation stores.. He has a booth in the local antiques market as well as a store in fleaBay and he makes some srious money off of some of those old dolls,action figures,toys,lunchboxes,kids guns and holsters,etc... A nice little extra payday for him as he is retired,wife has passed, kids are all moved away...
That's definitely a good business model. Tons of people seem to do alright doing that. It's pretty amazing to see what people will just throw away. Thank you for watching Wil_Liam1!
Thanks Rhetty. I still have a lot of my comic books, Secret Sam case.
I'm curious. How many comics do you have? I wish I had kept mine. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have Ron!
@@RhettyforHistory I have around 5-600 of my old comics.
Dang! That is a serious collection! I don't think I ever had that many.
@@RhettyforHistory I had them since I was around 8 or 9 years old and I'm 63 now so its been a while. 😊
The Star Wars action figures was my favorite
They were sure a big deal at one time. Tons of kids had them. Thank you for watching and sharing your favorite!
Thnx
I never liked or wanted a barbie doll, that was until now. 😂 Sure wish I had a few sitting in unopened boxes now. Thanks Rhett. ❤Jodie 🇦🇺
That would be great wouldn't it Jodie? Even I would like some of those. Thank you for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory oops 😬 I just had to edit my barbie. She was spitting instead of sitting. 😂
👋😁🇦🇺🇺🇸
😄😂 I didn't even notice that!
I have a set of bowls that was my grandparents that looked just like the ones you showed. But im afraid that sentimental things are important to me so I wouldn't get rid of them. I remember eating too much stuff out of them growing up. And i didn't get many things of my grandma's. My parent's still have all their old vinyl albums from the 1970s. I guess probably the one thing i that I have that is probably worth quite a bit is 1884 silver dollar my grandpa gave me not too long before he passed away his dad had gave it to him before he passed in the early 1970s.
I can completely understand why you would want to keep them and I have done the same with a lot of stuff. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have as well as your memories!
Born in 1974. I had a Close Encounters and a Black Hole lunchbox(es) from kindergarten (1979-1980) and 1st grade (1980-1981).
They both sat unused in a kitchen cabinet for years until they were gotten rid of.
Fast forward… now my dumb a** wants them….
Nope.The prices for either in even decent condition are too, too much.
If only I’d rescued them!… but what kid would imagine their lunchbox, of all things, would be the thing to save? lol
Oh well!
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories with us machfront!
Wow, who knew that some of our old 1970s treasures could be worth so much? I still have a few vintage Pyrex dishes and an old Barbie doll in my attic. What’s the most surprising valuable item you’ve found at a garage sale or in your own home? Have you ever discovered something unexpectedly valuable?
I would think the Smarties Candy Fun Flips dispensers would be collectable too since they weren't in production as long or became as popular as PEZ! I've eventually managed to collect a bunch of Pyrex bowls and containers through thrifting! I finally even managed to put together the classic primary set you saw in the background of Lucy Ricardo's kitchen in the early seasons!
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have jons.6216. I bet those Smarties dispensers are collectable and valuable.
@@RhettyforHistoryback in the second part of the early 2000s, I actually found a modern version of one at a Target out of town when I went down there!
About 10 years or so ago,a plumber from loiseville,Ky was at a garage sale where he saw a painting of some guys around a pool table. He found it intersting so he bought it. He starting researching the painting. Come to find out it was a 100 hyear old painting of a self portrait of a group of painters around a pool table. While researching, he was offered 4 figures for a painting he paid $10.00 for. He decided to go through an art auction house. He art auction house guy said the plumber was probably gonna get 5 figures from the sale of thos painting.
Every so often someone finds a gem like that and it's pretty incredible. I keep hoping I get lucky like that.
Robin`s mask was never on his face. it would always wind up on some other figure`s face! I actually remember the mask more than the figure itself lol
That's definitely what happens when it isn't painted on. Thank you for watching and sharing a memory with us GCMadej!
I have a Knickerbocker teddy bear that I was given for Christmas in 1971. I've always had him with me; I even took him to college! I plan to be cremated with him when I die. Sounds morbid, I know, but I don't want him to end up in a landfill.
I can completely understand Nancy. That is great that you have had him all this time. Thank you for watching and sharing your memories with us.
I have my Fonzie mug from 1976 I bought at K-Mart.
Very cool keepsake! Thank you for watching and sharing what you have!
Another Star Wars thing: Issue #4 of the comic book from Marvel Comics had a small distribution problem when first released. A good condition copy of this issue in original form can fetch over $900 now. A good copy of the reprint can fetch around $100 as well.
That would definitely be a good one to have. Imagine if you had several! Thank you for watching and telling us about that one Chris!
@@RhettyforHistory Well, I have a reprint, but not an original.
I have over 100 Pez Dispensers! ❤️
We downsized and moved my wife started selling on eBay. Toy parts and pieces can sell for good money also McDonald's toys are big sellers. What shocked us the most was vcr tapes including homemade tapes of kids shows. Grandparents buy them for the grandchildren to watch.
Everyone loses little toy pieces so I could see those being pretty desired and valuable. Thank you for watching and sharing what you and your wife sell.
Starbird!
Thank you for watching jkxelor1295!
Ive learned here recently oil drip lamps that have the fishing line rain drops dripping down them. My grandparents had one back in the day i was always amazed by as a youngster. I looked them up and they go for a hefty price! My brother had one of the car racing watches you showed in the video also!
Oh I could see that. We never had one but I sure went to other people's homes with them. I sure wanted one though. They were mesmerizing and they looked fancy. Thank you for watching and mentioning them!
@@RhettyforHistory You're welcome bud. Love the channel!
I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the channel.
I remember those; my uncle had one with a little statue in the middle and a ring of angled lines the oil dripped down. I always thought it was neat.
I still have my Cinderella watch.
Owners are more educated now and able to get more money out of this stuff. For those that want to get it for less than what it was worth, may need to be educated some more.
A Hello Kitty sewing kit for children. The date on the case is 1975.
That's something that will never really go out of style. Hello Kitty has remained popular for a long time. Thank you for watching and sharing what you have Catherine!
I have concert ticket stubs, and programs from most of the major bands of the 70s.
I wasn’t born until 1992 but my grandma gave me a coat from the 50’s that was an expensive brand. I also have sold vintage items on Etsy. If you boomers are afraid of selling online then ask your millenial or gen z kids or grandkids to sell it for you. We’re likely to say yes or quick cash. My Pokemon cards from 1999 when I was 7 are in pristine condition in a binder and I’ll be selling them soon. Us young people know old stuff is meant to be sold online
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts thehapagirl92!
The very few that I have left I wouldn’t part with.
I read somewhere that a stretch Armstrong in the box sold for 20k 😮 fantastic episode Rhett, thanks as always dear 👍❣️
Wow! That's a lot of money for him! Thank you for watching Lisa and I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the episode!
I wish I still had my Evel Knievel & Six Million Dollar Man lunch boxes with thermoses and the figures too. Lost my childhood belongings in a house fire as a young man.
That really sucks but glad you survived.
That's rough to lose everything like that. Thank you for watching and sharing your story badapple65!
TONKA
Some of those old solid metal Tonkas can bring some good money. I sure had fun with those as a kid. Thanks for watching!
@@RhettyforHistoryNylint trucks too. Tonka toys are still available but they are not the same as years ago. They are now just a brand name and are made in China. They are not made of all steel anymore either but are partly steel and partly plastic.
Yeah there is way too much plastic on these newer ones. We used to pull those old metal ones behind our bikes with a kid trying to ride on it. Definitely can't do that anymore.
I have a lot of albums from back in the 70's. One of which is The Kiss Alive album, and the Peter Frampton Comes Alive album. Do you know how much they would be worth?
Is this weird or fun? My mom kept everything from when we were babies….diapers (cloth back then), pacifier (all shriveled up), little ducky soap, baby shoes, baby and toddler clothes. I can probably think of more things.
i have nancy drews anywhere from the 1930's-1970's.
