COULD YOU BE HIDING A SMALL FORTUNE IN YOUR HOME? 
We get it—you're stuck at home with a lot of extra time on your hands. You've looked up how to clean blinds and how to paint a room —and then actually did the work! You've even resorted to Googling "What to do when you're bored." So now it's time to consider tackling the long-neglected task of cleaning out the attic or storage room. While there is nothing more satisfying than dropping a pile of forgotten goods at the donation center (you know what they say about one man's trash...), it might be worth taking a gander through your hoards of stuff to make sure you're not sitting on a treasure trove. Super Bowl Memorabilia Paper tickets with a blue or yellow stripe from back in the day can sell between $200 and $1000. But if you have tickets with a white stripe up top, it can bring your total to over $4000!

First Edition Books If you happen to have a first edition of a popular book, you could be sitting on thousands of dollars.

VHS tapes Although some of the newest generation doesn’t even know what a VHS is, you may want to see what tapes you have in your collection. You could make up to $50,000 a tape! Unpopular movies that never made the leap to DVD or digital, especially in horror, are what to look out for to get that price tag. Movies that have been banned or deemed controversial can also fetch a higher price.
 Lunch Boxes Still have that old lunch box your mom used to make you take everyday to school? If you do, check to see if yours features Roy Rogers, The Beatles, The Jetsons, or Rambo - these can bring a lot of cash.
Cast Iron Mailboxes The early 20th century mailboxes - especially those produced by Griswold, are some of the most sought after cast-iron products. Unpainted boxes can get up to $350 per box!
