Retro gadget gold in your attic

COLLECTORS ITEMS: OLD TECH HOLDS UNEXPECTED VALUE

- Citizen reporter

You might be ready to dig deep and get rid of all of those things in the attic and garage that haven't been used or relevant for years. But before you trash absolutely everything, you might want to stop and take a closer look at some of those items first.

There has been a rising interest in retro and nostalgic items of all kinds, but old gadgets, in particular, have been getting a lot of interest from collectors as of late.

Casino.com has put together a list of some of the gadgets you should keep an eye out for, what's selling and how you might be able to cash it in.

"Old gadgets hold as much nostalgia as a baseball card or comic book, perhaps even more to some people," said Bryan Zarpentine of Casino.com.

Zarpentine is a seasoned tech expert as well as a digital trends analyst with over a decade of experience covering the intersection of consumer electronics, pop culture and emerging tech.

He offers expert commentary on the value of vintage devices and the growing nostalgia-driven tech market.

"Gadgets are things we use every day and oftentimes all day for a period of our lives. Often disposable and hardly ever kept in sealed or mint condition, people wax nostalgically for the good old days when enough time goes by."

These classic items can be auctioned on the internet and bring in a decent amount of money.
