Without even knowing it, you may be sitting on a shiny goldmine.
Don't be so quick to toss out those worn-out books and dusty toys.
Your basement of junk may be a treasure trove of items worth a fortune.
After all, no one wants to throw out a Pokémon card, only to later learn that it was worth $3,750 on eBay.

Here are nine things in your home that could be more valuable than you think.1. Old electronics
Why not convert your old and unwanted electronics into cash?
The amount of money your gadget is worth depends on what kind of device
it is, its condition and where you sell it.2. Children's toys and games
3. Collectible cards
If you have collectible cards buried in your storage room,
it's worth taking a closer look at them. Pokémon cards and vintage
baseball cards, for example, can earn you some big bucks.Image: eBay4. Costume jewelry
Used or not, costume jewelry has its value. Its price is
determined by how old it is, its condition and its designer. Antique and
vintage costume jewelry tend to have more value.5. Coins
It may be a good idea to break out that old piggy bank. Coins
are often overlooked, but landing on the right one can earn you more
than just a pretty penny. Today, coins with errors, rare coins and other
valuable coins are still in circulation and are worth more than their
face value.Image: eBay6. Vinyl records and classic CDs
Take a trip down memory lane by taking a second look at your
record and CD collection. Depending on its rarity and condition, prices
for vinyl records with original sleeves and CDs can rake in some serious
cash.Image: eBay7. Old magazines and advertisements
Do you have some old magazine issues tucked inside your garage? Scout
them out, because there are plenty of collectors out there who want
them.
The appeal of a collectible magazine in print has grown over time. The older it is, the higher the value.

An old stamp can be worth almost nothing -- or everything. If you
have stamps lying around, take a closer look at them and research online
to figure out their value.
Philatelists (people who collect stamps) may be willing to pay a lot to take them off your hands.

Books gain value over time, so it's a good idea to research a
given book's worth before selling it. The prices for first, early or
out-of-print editions can be sky high -- especially if it's a vintage
children's book.Image: eBay
