Know whether items are trash or worth cash

On March 9, 1959, when Barbie dolls were introduced to the market, you could buy the doll brand new, in the box, for around $3.

Julie had been a longtime collector of her precious Barbie dolls and accessories. At a time when her health was failing, she contacted me to provide estate advice as to what to do with her collection, as she knew her children thought it was a bunch of junk and had no interest in it.

Julie feared her children would give them away, or sell them at a garage sale, not fully understanding the value that might be there. Worse yet, she feared they would simply put the collection in the dumpster.

She saw her collection as a legacy (cash value) she wanted to leave to her grandchildren.

After her consultation with me, the net result was Julie realized more than $65,000 for her treasured collection. In fact, she got well over $3,000 for one of her early dolls.

If you find yourself about to throw, protect yourself by consulting someone with experience, so you don’t suffer loss, but you enjoy a gain.

Have you inherited stuff, and want to know if it’s trash or cash? Recall the adage, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Jon Englund has more than 25 years of experience in appraising and liquidating personal property, jewelry, art, collectibles, antiques, furniture, printed items and more. A Midwest transplant, he trained at New York University in appraisal studies.
