10 Toys From 1980s That Could Make You Rich Today

That box of 1980s toys you never got around to throwing out could be worth real money. A sealed Transformers Optimus Prime has sold for over $2,000, a rare Star Wars figure for over $4,000, and one prototype toy sold at auction for $1.34 million. In this video, appraiser Eleanor Hayes covers the toys from Star Wars, He-Man, Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Cabbage Patch Kids that are actually worth checking before that box goes to a donation bin, plus the honest range for what most of it is really worth. You'll learn the two mistakes that quietly destroy toy value: throwing away the box, and cleaning up the figure. You'll also learn the three-second check that separates a $20 toy from a $2,000 one, and why the box is often worth more than what's inside it. Most people who kept these boxes weren't collectors. They were parents who couldn't quite let go. This video is about finding out what that instinct was actually worth.
