Things you've kept that might be worth something now
Discussion
Inspired (or perhaps just shamelessly pinched) by the 'things you wish you'd kept' thread, which is an interesting read, I wondered what people had kept, and what had proven to be worth something?
I've still got a huge box of Tiger comics from the seventies, kept from when I was a child. They're a massive nostalgia fest, but according to Ebay they don't seem to be worth anything much yet.
I've also got a late seventies Casio CQ-81 calculator on my desk which was given to me new and must be 40 years old. Still works (still pretty worthless!)

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.
