Make Money From Your Old Toys

By: Gregory Hepburn

When shopping for antique games, it can be very useful to have a price guide in hand. Many unscrupulous sellers are hoping to make profit due to a buyer's lack of knowledge. Watching some of the antique programs can help educate you as a buyer.

For a few dollars, you can buy an antique toys pricing guide and have a positive understanding of how to find a good deal. If you happen to have collected some of your childhood toys and are ready to sell them, there can be a great deal of money to be made. Do some investigation regarding antique toys and their prices and some items may make you a mint!

A very popular collection of antique toys consists of a wooden rocking horse. Wooden rocking horses are widely available at online antique stores and usually cost well over $1,000 if they are in good shape. Some wear is understandable, but the rocking horse must work and contain the original pieces.

Surprisingly, antique toys sought after by collectors usually include marbles. One onionskin marble on EBay is currently priced at $500 and slowly climbing. While marbles probably are at the bottom of your antique toys list, they can sell for huge amounts of money.

In the 1970s, lots of little boys wanted an Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle. These rare bikes with the matching Evel Knievel doll sell for well over $400 now, and parents back then paid only a few dollars for them. If you have an Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle in your old toy chest, pull it out and earn some money selling it to antique toys collectors.

Antique toys retailers are interested in even uncommon items. A tube of Mattel's Plastic Goop is getting bids of well over $100. Can you imagine paying $100 for a small tube of plastic mix? If you have any old goop, you may earn far more than you paid.

A packet of two Whammo Frisbees in their original 1973 packaging are currently earning bids of $75. With less than a few days left in the auction, these two Frisbees are going to make well over their original purchase price. Even Frisbees are sought after antique toys.

Antique Barbies usually make a lot of money. These antique toys were usually played with fondly, but if you happen to have a doll that comes with the box or an antique carrying case, the Barbies can sell for hundreds.

Buying and selling antique toys can be a wonderful way to make a few dollars but it also will afford you a great trip down memory lane, all the way back to your childhood.
