Your Trash Might Be Someone's Treasure

    STAMFORD, CT, August 27, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- You may have a small fortune hidden in your attic. Suppose somewhere in the shelves and boxes of items you have collected over the years were treasures worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. Bottom Line Personal's collectible experts say the chances are really good that there is "hidden gold" among your personal treasures.

For those of you that are musically oriented, the September 1st issue of Bottom Line Personal interviewed two experts who show you can bring your old guitars, violins, electric pianos, and ukuleles out of the dust and turn them into cash. Did you know that Harmony Hollow-Body Electric guitars from the rock era can bring $400 to $800, and sometimes even up to $1,700 for models with gold-foil pickups? Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos from the 1960s and 1970s were popular before all-electronic synthesizers. Now, if in playable condition, these collectibles can be worth a staggering $1,200 to $4,000.

That cluttered-clothes closet of yours can bring a whole bunch of cash to your future. It's no secret that vintage clothing can be worth a lot of money. You may not know that men's vintage high-end suits and jackets can sell for up to $1000, maybe even more. Fashion-forward cities like New York sell these suits for the best prices at high-end clothing consignment shops.

On the other hand, you may think a toy from a bygone era might be worth a small fortune. But believe or not, the box it came in, even without the toy, can be even more valuable than the toy itself. The empty box from a pre-World War II Lionel train set recently sold for $110 at auction.

Have stacks of books you read years ago but just couldn't part with taking up extra space in your home? Believe it or not, there may be a book on your bookshelf that's worth $200 to $5,000. First-printings of modern books tend to be collectible and therefore valuable. The very popular book, The Godfather by Mario Puzo (1969) had a relatively modest initial print run, so few first printings survive in pristine condition. If you have one, it is valued at around $3,500. For more hidden literary treasures, visit http://bottomlinepersonal.com/hidden-treasures-on-your-bookshelf/

Old cameras or film might even show some value. Original photos of baseball players or teams from the 19th or 20th century can be sold for $20 to $50, sometimes even more, regardless of whether it is an image of just amateur or professional.

"It seems like everything has a price these days, and some prices may be higher than others," states Sarah Hiner, CEO and President of Bottom Line Publications. "I have an antique radio and vinyl records that I just adore and don't think I could part with at any price. But that being said, if I can sell them to someone who will get them out of my basement and onto display, make me an offer."
