Things you've kept that might be worth something now

I bought a brand new Scotty Cameron button back putter and head cover to match that are both still sealed in the original polythene wrapper .
Paid about £200 iirc.
Spotted this on eBay the other day.

Realistically it’s probably worth £1500 for a quick sale .

I've got a boxed intellivision. Probably not worth much by itself, but I've got some accesories for it as well, like the voice module, and the ECS with the brown computer and music keyboards.
Items like the brown music keyboard are meant to be rare, but wether anyone actually wants to buy one is another question!

I've got 12 in mine if you include the dedication by Judas, but Mark muttered something about doing it later and the whole Garden thing happened and i just never get the chance to catch up with him after that.
Boss charged me full RRP for my copy and all.

I’ve got some random Lego and Star Wars stuff too, still in boxes as my kids were too gay to play with guns and battleships.
Bit of a random one but when my wife's parents split her Dad just used to pick her up from school and take her to McDonalds for tea 3 times a week. As a result she had boxes and boxes of unused happy meal toys, they used to (might still) change them every week so she'd have 2 or 3 of each weeks toy and had tens of whole collections.
We threw them all away when we bought our first house 13 years ago and some are worth a fair bit according to eBay now!

Off topic- but let me know how much you get if you decide to sell.
My dad moved house after 30 years of living in the same place a few years ago. He asked me over to clear the attic, as I kept a lot of stuff there and I came across my old Gameboy.
It was bought back in circa 1992/3 for my birthday, and the box has been stored up there from the day after (the Gameboy stayed with me of course).
I stopped playing it when I got a PS1 (about 1996/7?) so my mum popped it back in the box (and then inside a large box) and had been in the attic since. Apart from a film of dust that cleaned off immediately, the boxes are in amazing condition. The Gameboy itself has some discoloration, but the screen is more or less perfect with no dead lines... impressive for a 25 year old console (albeit only actually used for 3 years!)
The black carry case hadn't fared so well as it wasn't stored in the chest with the Gameboy, the internal foam padding turning in to a gooey dust.

I've got a set of Peugeot 106 Rallye steel wheels, never been used, although they did have tyres on at one point with associated marking on the wheels. 
Bought them new off eBay but I believe they are now officially sold out so maybe I have the only "new" set in the universe?
I assume they are worth millions.

Were they "Space Baby"? If so, I remember seeing them in the 90s in a store. I didn't consider buying them, a Nigel Cabourn jacket was my purchase that day. I did wonder of you'd wear socks though.A pair of Wayne Hemingway for Red or Dead clear Dr Martens. <snip>.
Hopefully I have all sorts of bits an bobs that I've accumulated over the years that could be worth a few quid now or in the future. It's a combination of nostalgia & borderline hoarding.
Luckily for me my mum is a bit over keen when it comes to saving boxes (the joys of having a large attic!) so I have good condition Sinclair Spectrum zx , Sega Mastersystem, Megadrive, Mega CD, gameboy, ps1, Hornby train sets, corgi cars, model kits(unmade ones from 80s/90s) all tucked away 'just in case'.

They weren’t really practically wearable at all to be honest. With or without socks they’d steam up! Just sat in a wardrobe for almost thirty years.
