Those neglected knick-knacks strewn around the house could potentially add up to some big bucks.
Here are seven things in your home that could be worth thousands of dollars:
Pocket change
Check your pockets for any loose change and you might find a unique old coin. Recently, a 1943 copper wheat penny sold for $85,000.
Old video game systems
Have a Nintendo Game Boy lying around? It could be worth a thousand bucks.
VHS movies
A couple thousand dollars for old horror and science-fiction tapes? Yep, the collectibles are among some of the most sought-after by movie fans.
Classic books and magazines
Vintage editions of classic novels and magazines are a big hit. In fact, Ayn Rand’s “The Fountainhead” sold for more than $25,000.
