Model trains have been popular among people since the advent of rail travel. There are worldwide communities that are still dedicated to those track-riding locomotives.

Wow, that’s an insane amount of money, I guess you better look through your attic to make sure you didn’t miss out!
Rare cookie jars
Cookie jars used to be a common sight in many of America's kitchens, though it's clear their time has passed. But plenty of us still have memories of reaching in and finding a fresh cookie for an afternoon snack. But if you still have one of these lying around, keep reading:
According to Reader's Digest, a number of these classic items from the 1950s sold for around $1,200 (an “Uncle Mistletoe Marshall Fields” cookie jar). Other jars, usually in the shape of a widely recognized character, can reach prices of several hundred dollars.
She-Ra, Princess of Power and Her Horse Swift Wind
She-Ra was He-Man’s twin sister, and she was a bad-ass. Hardcore collectors are still looking for dolls like this one in mint condition and are willing to pay quite a bit for it.
The original action figure that is still packaged along with her horse can sell for up to $4,000. If there are no accessories included, it can still earn you a decent $150-$600. Better get online and find some hardcore buyers with a good savings account!
TMNT 1980s Actions Figures
We dare you to look at the picture and not hum the song. We loved these green heroes so much that they had us glued to the TV for way longer than our parents were comfortable with.
These four awesome turtles were popular collectors' items too, with their faces splayed over any kind of merchandise you could think of. If you are one of those lucky people who still have an action figure or a lunch box somewhere, you could sell those online and earn $600 apiece. If you have a rare one, you can earn up to $5,000!
Masters of the Universe Eternia playset
Okay, remember how He-Man and Skeletor were popular back then? Well, here’s another one of those Masters of the Universe toys that’s probably even better.
This playset was described by an eBay seller as the “Holy Grail” of all the Masters of the Universe toys. It’s because this playset was used as the battleground for both He-Man and Skeletor. Kids back then used it to create fight scenes. If you have one like this lying around, a boxed and untouched playset can earn you a decent $1,900!
