What have you thrown away or sold that in hindsight you should have kept because it's worth money now or for sentimental reasons etc

All my sons power rangers toys. They’re all in again and cost a fortune for the ones we’ve given to the charity shops over the years x

I was the same, only learned at a later date that you're supposed to play with one and keep another one in a perfect condition but who does that as a kid.

"What have you thrown away or sold that in hindsight you should have kept because it's worth money now or for sentimental reasons etc"

I was given a brand new £1 note by my granddad just before they were taken out of circulation and not long before he died.

I gave it to my parents for safekeeping (because at aged 7 I knew it would be worth something one day)

I asked about it a few years later - they told me they'd exchanged it for a coin! I was fuming!

I've still got my ap50 and acquired quite a few classic 50"s including 2 fissies and have other classic superbikes like rd500 and slab side gsxr luckily before prices went stupid.

I threw away at least 70 netball trophies. When I moved house I had no room other than the attic, so I chucked them. Fourteen years of League/County netball. I want them back

I had the same car but my floor went so it was a bit like the flint stones car, great handling and a sweet engine.

Wow you must have a big garage for what sounds like a fantastic collection of classic motorcycles.

The Ducati was the bigger loss I think.

Very recently I was talking about selling my spinning wheel. I don’t use it very often and it takes up quite a large space. Hubby talked me out of it and I’m so glad he did

I found a carrier bag containing my original Nintendo gameboy plus about a dozen games on Monday when having a bit of a clear out in a forgotten part of the house. I was going to just chuck the lot in the bin but my sister suggested it might be worth taking them to a game shop.

I made a fair few quid from them. Apparently people who had them and got rid years ago want them again. It pays to be a bit of a hoarder sometimes
