We get it—you're stuck at home with a lot of extra time on your hands. You've looked up how to clean blinds and how to paint a room—and then actually did the work! You've even resorted to Googling "What to do when you're bored." So now it's time to consider tackling the long-neglected task of cleaning out the attic or storage room. We all have that stash of boxes, you know the "priceless family heirlooms" that Grandma gave you ages ago. They're those boxes that haven't unpacked in several moves and too many years to count. While there is nothing more satisfying than dropping a pile of forgotten goods at the donation center (you know what they say about one man's trash...), it might be worth taking a gander through your hoards of stuff to make sure you're not sitting on a treasure trove. Through the years, items can appreciate in value more than you think. So before you toss or donate anything, take a look at this list of 55 items that are worth a lot of money today and may just be hiding in plain sight in your storage. Who knows? Even those garage sale items you bought for a dollar could be worth a fortune now!
