    Boomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964. Therefore, many people in this age range have antique items and objects that date back to the early 1990s. As they are majorly in their retirement years, it is the perfect time for boomers to take these antique items and treasures and make a great deal of money from them. Selling that vintage car or furniture might boost your retirement fund, so here are 12 options for you. 

    Vintage Furniture 

    That old furniture you have had in your house for decades might just be an antique piece. Many people love vintage pieces from the 1990s as they usually have a bit of historical flair and value. Therefore, that old chair or table you no longer cherish might be worth a lot of money to collectors.

    The design and date are important for its valuation, and that old piece of furniture you no longer like can be worth thousands of dollars today! 

    Coins and Stamps

    Do you have any old coins or stamp collections from your younger years? This is the time to find them and auction them at great prices. Many collectors are ready to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these old coins and stamps, which can help you get a lot of cash.

    Therefore, before you throw away any old coins you’ve had since the 1990s, you might want to check their value first. 

    Vintage Jewelry and Watches

    Luxury or vintage jewelry can be with a surprising amount of cash. As boomers usually have some of these old pieces lying about, many do not know that it is also a way to make a lot of money if they are high-quality pieces.

    For those who have vintage jewelry or watches from big brands like Rolex, selling them can bring you thousands of dollars you can enjoy for a long time. Therefore, you should look into selling them.

    Classic Cars

    Classic cars are some of the best ways to earn a lot of money by selling antique models. For boomers who have vintage or classic cars sitting in their garages, it is time to bring them out and sell them.

    You might need to refurbish some parts or give the car a good wash, but that doesn’t usually decrease its value. You can still get great value for the cars and sell them for very high prices. 

    Artwork

    Artworks always become more valuable over time, and their value keeps rising as the years go by. This applies not only to original paintings but also to sculptures and other forms of art. Therefore, selling your old artwork from the 1990s might earn you a lot of money.

    That old piano or violin that has also been in your house for decades may be worth a lot of money as musical instruments are sometimes just as expensive as artworks. 

    Designer Clothing and Accessories

    You can never go wrong with designer clothing and accessories, and their value continues to increase as the years go by. Therefore, if you have old shoes, clothing, bags, or other fashion items from older generations, it is time to sell them.

    You may be surprised to see how much people value fashion items made decades ago and now considered rare pieces.

    Books and First Editions

    Having old books is good, and you might be able to sell them for reasonable prices. However, having first editions, author editions, or signed copies of old books is a gold mine! Most collectors are looking for these old books and are willing to pay a great deal of money for them.

    If the author is no longer alive, the prices of these unique books may be up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

    Sports Memorabilia

    Just as with music and books, sports fans love antique pieces and are willing to pay an arm and a leg for them. Do you have any old jerseys, balls, or autographed sports items from famous games or athletes?

    Then you are in luck! You can sell these items to collectors and get the most out of it. While you may be parting with a dear item, the money you would get back is also of great value. 

    Vintage Electronics

    Some people may think vintage electronics are trash, but you may be surprised to learn how much they are worth in real life. The prices are through the roof, from early computers to consoles and audio devices.

    If you have old vinyl records, this is your sign to sell them for a good amount of money. Go clear out your attic for these old pieces and sell them for the best prices on the market. 

    Military Memorabilia

    Thanks to the wars that took place in the 90s, boomers are not unfamiliar with military history. Many of them either served in the military or had parents who did. Therefore, they gave items like uniforms, medals, equipment, and other military memorabilia lying around.

    These are worth a lot of money to museums and collectors. Those who have vintage toys they played with as kids can also sell them on the market for very high prices. 

    Photography Equipment

    The world can be very nostalgic even though we currently have high-quality equipment. People are now buying Polaroid cameras even though they have access to high-quality cameras on their phones.

    Therefore, those vintage cameras or photography equipment you have had for a long time can be worth a lot of money. Get them valued and sell them for high prices to enjoy your retirement!

    Old Houses

    Do you have a large family home that you feel might be too big? Is it an old, vintage building with historical value? If your answer is yes, you may have just struck gold! Old houses cost a lot on the market these days, and you can simply sell yours and move to a smaller, more modern house to help you earn some money.

    As a boomer, before you throw out anything you’ve owned since you were young, check to see the value and make some cool cash!
