The old saying “one man's trash is another man's treasure” can apply to many things, and selling your items at a pawn shop is definitely one of them. We can take it a step further and say that some things you once saw as treasure can end up being trash, so to speak. Back in the college days, you may have had the most awesome stereo on the block, complete with a dual-cassette deck, turntable and speakers the size of an average refrigerator. It is on this state-of-the-art system (of its day) that you recorded those quintessential ‘mix tapes which made you the life of the party. But oh how times have changed.

Today, even what is considered to be an average stereo system features many digital technologies that can outperform a retro system like the one you had by leaps and bounds. Tapes and even CDs have been replaced by streaming music, everything is controlled by your smartphone, and WiFi has won the battle against old fashioned copper cables. Obviously that dusty old set of components in the garage is junk, right?  Well, maybe not!  Perhaps you saw no reason to look up this relic online, but some old audio equipment can sell for good money, providing it still works and is in good shape. Yes, collectors of vintage equipment are willing to dish out a hefty sum for equipment that might be considered ready for the recycling center by some!

And even if that ‘junk’ you come across isn’t worth a fortune, many things that fall into disuse for us may still be worth something to someone else - the old snow blower that you replaced with a newer model, some old golf clubs from the days when golf was an avid pastime, some old jewelry that you haven’t worn in years, and so on. There is still value in many things, even if they are no longer useful to you.
