Attention El Paso Hoarders – Your Crap Is Worth $$$
· NewsTalk 1290I'm willing to bet every single home in El Paso has at least one junk drawer. If your "Spring Fever" is kicking in; don't toss all that crap - sell it.
El Pasoans are sitting on zillions of pots of gold and most don't know it. Sure, you could have a super valuable antique or one of a kind item but even the junk has value. Read this before you go on a trashing binge ...
Hare are a few things El Paso hoarders have that have a not so widely known value.
If you are a pack rat, forget all the jokes your family and friends throw at you. Your "odssession" could turn out to be a big payday.
Some Junk Is Unexpectedly Valuable
I used to have a ton of toys that I outgrew, lost, gave or just plain threw away. Now I see those toys for sale online and I want to cry. Apparently, I could have damn near retired on the Star Wars stuff and a couple of old albums alone.
Incomplete Sets Can Be Pretty Valuable
Got a Monopoly game that's missing half the "Chance" cards or has no doggie token? Or, maybe, the cards and the doggie token are ALL you have? Either way, don't toss them ... go online and see who else is looking for stuff.
You're not the only one that has great, (yet, incomplete), childhood memories and your counterparts will pay to get what they're missing.
I recently found an article about the rising value of crap and was surprised at what can bring in a few bucks. Maybe more.
Valuable Junk That You Don't Know Is Valuable
Empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls are super popular when it comes to kids arts and crafts projects. Stop shipping 'em off in the recycling bin and start selling them. There's a pack of 25 going for about $100 right now and a 50 pack is almost $200.

Same for colored paper clips. This small set of 8 colors is almost $20. Pine cones are widely used in holiday decor and these guys are going for $15 each. My next day trip to Ruidoso may just make some of that Star Wars money back ...
