A stroke of luck could be waiting for you in a closet, a basement, a forgotten drawer or a shelf, as long as it's the right object and you manage to find a buyer. The toys from the '90s that we desired and enjoyed at the time (with some bans along the way) can now demand thousands of dollars if they're in good condition. Would you like to know the most extreme cases?

Personally, I remember many of the toys I had and the way I treated them. Now I see the price they're asking for them online, and I confess I'd love to travel back in time to recalibrate my brain with blows. Now, you also have to recognize a certain madness in that particular market. The vast majority believes it has unique jewels, and that leads them to ask absurd prices, when in reality they're worth a tiny fraction... or nothing. Below are some examples, and once you're done, don't hesitate to visit the rest here.
