China Sets
So, what about those fancy dinner sets just gathering dust in your kitchen cabinets? Well, you might be able to get hundreds or thousands of bucks for them. However, you have to make sure that they are fine china dating back to decades past. These antiques must be porcelain, which is a style that became big during the 18th century. Back then, English artists got inspiration from the hand-painted blue and white ceramics from China. Even though there are many fake items in the market these days, those from the early 20th century have been sold for as much as $5,000!
Cuckoo Clocks

These clocks must be the most nostalgic household items from 1730s Germany. They might also remind you of your grandmother. They are commonly found in flea markets or garage sales, although you might find this rare object in your own home. There exists a resale market for the amazing time-tellers if you happen to own one. As of August 25, 2019, cuckoo clocks were selling were up to $2,000 on eBay. It’s time to check the attic for these beauties!
