Do you remember having that beloved Walkman that you took everywhere to jam out to your favorite tunes before the iPod came along? Did you hang onto it just because? Were you a big gamer as a child who loved your Gameboy? If you held onto it, you might be able to cash in on it for a nice payday! These 80s, 90s, and 00s devices/tech could be worth a pretty penny today.

Other Gadgets (I had):
- A Tamagotchi digital pet: An original from the 1990s just sold for $752.15! I had one of these, and I loved it! I'll have to look around to see if I still have it. I might just cash it in for a good price!
- Nokia 3310: This cellphone from 2000 is now worth $141.77. This was my first cellphone and I know I still have it so maybe I should sell it off for a little bit of cash. Hmm...
These are just a few old tech gadets that are now worth something today. You might want to cash in on them if they're just laying around in your attic or basement wasting space.
