Mario Kart 64: $3,000

Kids from the 1990s will not sure remember this entertaining game for the Nintendo 64, which was the second installment in the Mario Kart series. Nevertheless, back in the day, when you were rushing to take first place in the midst of the chaos, did you ever consider that it may be worth something someday? Despite the fact that the graphics have most likely aged poorly, nostalgia is a significant driver of the value of vintage toys. The whole game might go for somewhere between $75 and $115 if it is in good condition. However, the actual value is found in games that are brand new, have never been played, and have not been opened. Most of these are worth at least a few hundred dollars, with some factory-sealed games fetching upwards of three thousand dollars.

Lite Brite: $300

Did you have a Lite Brite when you were younger? But I had to start over because I had lost all of my preset papers. It was basically simply a matter of pushing small light bulbs into a black background and generating my own creations. Lite Brite was first introduced in 1967 and has been manufactured ever since, in a variety of colors and designs to suit the needs of consumers. However, while they are still being produced today (I saw one in a Target store just last week! ), the earlier models hold all of the nostalgic power — as well as the money. Original Lite Brites from the late 1960s and early 1970s can fetch as much as $300 on the secondary market.
