Have you ever wondered what some of your old toys are currently worth? You know, toys that normally fall under the bracket of action figures, board games, puzzle games, quizzes, dolls, remote control cars, and robotic pets, to name but a few! Yes. Of course you have. Especially since we’re presently living in a collectors market, shrewdly looking backward in order to thrust our bank balances forward.After all, it's quite possible that you might have a small fortune of toys hidden away somewhere just gathering dust and increasing in value, year, by year, by year. So for crying out loud, what are you waiting for? Groundhog Day? Come on, get up, dust yourself down, and have a look at what you might be able to discover and sell!
Anyway, regardless of what you might actually find, either way up in your dusty old loft or deep down in your parents basement, just remember that Good Vibes, an online magazine sponsored by Sunny, have been able to compile a list of toys, games, and memorabilia, produced and developed over this four-decade period, and calculated what each of them are currently worth. Here, check out the following three sections for further information. The first section is focused on the price of products both then and now (organized by decade). The second section is comprised of an infographic that illustrates these products previously highlighted. Whilst the third section is an accompanying video. Please enjoy.
