A new entry into the collectible market is the old cell phone model. Technology is rapidly advancing and the phone you bought today will most likely be outdated within a year or two. But that’s not the case with some really old cell phone models. They sell despite being out of use. You know, just for the fun of it!

4. Old Cereal

It’s hard to believe that someone would actually buy the expired, ruined cereal from yesteryear. But then isn’t the whole concept of hording up worthless items a little odd? The hottest bid in the cereal collectibles right now is the Nintendo Cereal System released by Ralston in 1988. Any old cereal box that’s unopened will sell for a minimum of $50. Go ransack your pantry!

Just when you thought “it can’t get any weirder!” As if the old, useless items weren’t enough, collectors also go for the package they came in. If you still have the wrapper from your old toys, or the package your ancient phone came it, you’re about to get slightly rich.

 

Do you feel like patting yourself on the back for saving old items? Well, you certainly deserve it.
