Franklin Mint Dolls
As is the case with so many collectible types that suddenly sell for a very large sum, Franklin Mint jumped onto the bandwagon after a Barbie doll was sold for over $7000 back in 2010. They suggested that their dolls would also be worth a lot of money in future, so people rushed to get their hands on them. Today, these dolls certainly haven’t appreciated in value. They are worth roughly $25 a pop, depending on the condition.
Old School Cameras
Who could have predicted that in 2021 we would be walking around with multiple cameras packed into a single device we use for hundreds of reasons. Classic cameras have since disappeared from the market, and these days are more commonly considered to be novelty items. Although there was a period when classic film cameras would sell for a large sum, things have changed a lot. Unless you find someone who wants exactly what you’re selling, you’re not going to walk away with exorbitant profits.
