Vintage Things You Might Find in Your Home That Can Be Sold Off for Thousands of Dollars
Typewriters
Before keyboards, typewriters were a standard tool for writing almost anything. Although modern tech has rendered them useless, collectors are willing to pay top dollar for particular antique and vintage kinds. In the late ’70s, electronic ones saw a boom.
While typewriters from the ’40s are the most valued, electronic typewriters are still desirable if they are in working order. You probably won’t get as much cash for something that needs extensive reconditioning and is covered in dust. On eBay, many bidders have placed bids in the hundreds for Hermes portables; one ’60s seafoam green gizmo with its case brought in $1.2k.
