Retired American Girl Dolls
Okay, so this one differs depending on the doll you’re looking at. American Girl dolls are still being produced, although the specific dolls are sometimes “retired,” which means they are no longer being produced. Because, like Samantha, a handful of them have been canceled and then reintroduced, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them if you aren’t familiar with them. Although not as valuable as original “white body” dolls, dolls from the Pleasant Company era (prior to Mattel’s acquisition of the company) are more valuable. In addition, like with any other toy, the condition of the doll has an impact on its monetary value. The dolls alone can be worth hundreds of dollars, or even thousands of dollars if they come with a variety of clothes and other accessories.
Atari Video Game Cartridges
In the event that you’re fortunate enough to still have some of your old Atari 2600 game cartridges stashed away in a safe place, you may be sitting on some really valuable assets. Plenty of games are worth significantly more than the system itself, in fact! Even though some Atari games are only worth a few hundred dollars, there are some really rare Atari games that can be worth thousands of dollars. It is possible, though, that if you are fortunate enough to possess the exceedingly rare Air Raid, you might receive up to $5,000 for the cartridge, or more than $30,000 if the cartridge is still in its original packaging.
