Find These Items On Gumtree And You Could Make A Fortune

Somebody's junk could be another person's jewels, which is why it pays to know what's worth serious cash on the interweb. Have any of these lying around?

I was once so lazy and hungover that I watched an entire episode of Antiques Roadshow, rather than rise off the couch to fetch the remote.

I’m not proud of this but hey, I learnt a few valuable lessons.

Tequila hunts in a pack being one, there’s a huge amount of money to be made from selling old and unused items being the other.

Now folks over in the U.K. are flogging old items online, and according to the Telegraph the prices are pretty eye-popping.

We’ve seen peeps making a pretty penny off selling items on Gumtree before, but if you happen to be sitting on one of these items below maybe it’s time to cash in.

Go on, have a snoop around at current listings and see what you can find too – nab the goods and resell for an easy payday.

iPods

A second-generation iPod Classic is listed for $20 000 (R290 000), a first-generation for $9 999 (R145 000) and a first-generation Mini for $2 500 (R36 000).

Playstation One

Something of a game-changer at the time, someone is now flogging a PS One for R11 500 across the pond.

Sony Walkman

Too cool for school when they first emerged, listings online for good condition items are up to R10 400.

Original iPhone

Still in the box, unused, and now selling for the princely sum of R144 000 over in the UK.

If I was you I’d start rummaging through those old boxes and cupboards, you could be sitting on a Gumtree gold mine.

You can see the rest of those lucrative listings HERE.
