Your Old Toys Could be Worth a Fortune! (Mine Were!)

Something tells me my dad's homepage on his web browser is MSN.com, but I'm not mad! This article helped him realized there's a gold mine of my old toys sitting in his attic!

The article he found was aptly named "What Your Old Toys Are Worth." Having two daughters who were kiddos in the 90s, my dad didn't just have requests from us for the hottest, trendiest toys...we had to have multiple versions of that toy. He recognized that we had a lot of the toys on the list (plus some other highly collectible vintage toys) and sent me photos of them. I went on E-Bay to see how much I could possibly make if I could tear myself away from their sentimental value to make some cash.

In total, selling these toys in this gallery on E-Bay could earn me over $1500! (Scroll all the way down for a value guide!) I don't know if I could bring myself to actually sell them though, there's too many memories attached to them. The Polly Pocket Mermaid book was my absolute favorite toy out of all the dozens of Polly Pocket sets my dad bought us. Sumo, the Zebra Furby, was the first in my collection and I remember taking him to the imaginary "Furby Day Camp" my friend Lauren and I hosted for our collection. Before taking 12 years of piano lessons, I LOVED playing my Fisher Price Piano...and that JT bobble head? Just a sign of how much of a fan girl I'd grow up to be!

Now...if only the several hundred Beanie Babies I owned were actually worth something...

Here's how much the toys in the photo gallery are worth according to Ebay:
