Shortage of cash today people are looking everywhere for a little extra money. They are looking into the mattress, the sale of spare cars, and working more hours.

But an area that few people look at is that of toys and games. Few people tend to think that their toys and games for children of age can have any type of value. But in the minds of interested buyers that toy collecting dust in your attic may be worth $ 100 or more.

The value of the toys in the Eye of the Beholder
Who would have thought that the old GI Joe's, Barbies, Tinker, Trainer of games, board games, tin and metal toys, Cabbage Patch Kids, and others might have some value in the market today? When new, toys and games sold for between $ 10 and $ 25. If these describe their old toys and have never been seen here during the last decade, which may not seem very valuable to you personally.

But other people see otherwise. For some people, age 20, GI Joe brings back memories of a happy childhood. Or, other people want to find the old board game or Operation of life or Twister and share with their own children. In these cases, the value of the object is determined by the person who wants the object.

Tin toys old tower ever more valuable as they age, especially Japanese metal toys 1960s as robots.

Be wary of devaluing their toys
But how to go about selling toys online and get a decent price for them? The first thing to do is not to undervalue these toys. If the scenario described above sounds like you, then you are at serious risk from the publication of a lower price for their toys seriously.

Enough to consult and guide Kovel antiques, go to market itself and find out what people are really paying for these toys. Craigslist, sell for free, OLX.com, and online advertising other sites have good lists of what people are selling their old toys for.

Do not repair old toys?
Also, please careful what you do with the toy before submission to interested buyers. While it may seem natural to repair broken toys should be noted that many of toys and collectors of game are what we might call the purists. Rather have a broken toy in its pure state without restore, which would have a toy that has been fixed recently put back together or widely cleaning.

This does not mean that toys should be cleaned before they are displayed. All dust must be removed with a cloth clean or brush. If there is dirt that is difficult to remove, be careful about taking off with strong cleaners or solvents because it can also remove paint and varnish.

Toy original packaging is always good
Finally, if you have any original packaging, do not discard it. As a general rule, collectors toy much higher value on a toy or game if it comes in its original packaging, no matter how severe damage to the packaging is.
