[103]
your parents ever told you video games
[104]
are a waste of time think of me while
[106]
you Savor telling them how wrong they
[109]
are number nine golf balls while winning
[112]
PGA Tours is undoubtedly the best way to
[115]
make money from golf it's pretty
[116]
difficult luckily you can still make big
[119]
bucks from the sport without actually
[120]
even playing yep you can make thousands
[123]
of dollars by recovering golf balls your
[126]
average golfer loses about two balls a
[128]
game and in the U.S 100 million missing
[130]
golf balls are recovered every year you
[133]
can just walk around the rough areas of
[134]
golf courses and find tons of missing
[136]
balls with little more effort required
[138]
than walking around you'll feel the
[140]
distinctive bump of a gold ball under
[142]
the ground with your foot choose to walk
[144]
around the rough areas to the right or
[146]
left of the teeing ground websites like
[148]
eBay auction used golf balls or you can
[151]
sell them directly to Golfers at a
[153]
lowered price most retrieved golf balls
[155]
sell for around 50 cents each so
[157]
recovering a thousand balls could net
[159]
you 500 for a day's work premium brands
[162]
in good condition can even sell for more
[164]
than two dollars each but
[166]
self-proclaimed golf ball divers know
[168]
the big bucks lay at the bottom of the
[170]
ponds and lakes on golf courses where
[172]
the highest concentration of lost balls
[174]
are found the best divers have been
[176]
known to retrieve as many as 10 000
[178]
balls a day and often enjoy annual
[181]
incomes ranging between fifty thousand
[183]
dollars and a hundred thousand dollars
[185]
this method obviously comes with its
[187]
fair share of Occupational hazards and
[188]
requires scuba certification and watch
[191]
out for Gators and Crocs depending on
[193]
where you are they bite a lot harder
[195]
than a stray golf ball you could save
[196]
yourself the effort though if you're
[198]
lucky enough to stumble across an animal
[199]
with a taste for dimpled spheres case in
[202]
point a set of golf balls removed from a
[205]
python in Australia after it swallowed
[207]

number eight meat stones

[222]
not edible that's because they're
[224]
actually Rocks part of an oddly popular
[227]
notably peculiar phenomenon in China and
[230]
Japan a museum in lushan China has an
[233]
entire hugely popular section dedicated
[235]

[237]

Kyushu Museum in Fukuoka Japan taiwan's
[243]
prized meat shaped Stone attracted

[248]
time on display there the appreciation
[250]
of meat Stones is centuries old the one
[253]
at Kyushu museum being carved during the
[255]
King Dynasty but the meat of the matter
[257]
is that nowadays the prices for these
[259]
peculiar Stones most of which are
[261]
naturally formed are carved from Jasper

chalinsis also known as a living rock or
[288]
sea squirt is a gross looking filter
[291]
feeding sea creature it's a popular
[293]
delicacy in South America and Asia but

[301]
the beach however as they can fetch as
[303]
much as 170 dollars per kilo number
[306]

[401]
Now's the Time to either reminisce about
[403]
your childhood or cash them in for your
[405]
mortgage payments number five winter
[408]
flower
[409]
if you've ever thought roses are
[411]
overpriced you obviously haven't heard
[413]
of the giant Snowdrop the galanthus
[416]
warnawi or the Elizabeth Harrison giant
[419]
Snowdrop is a springtime flower found in
[421]
the UK and is loaded because of its
[424]
distinct gold markings and Rarity they
[426]
often fetch 65 pounds per bolt and in
[429]
one instance in 2012 a single bulb was
[432]
sold for 725 pounds galanthus wore anawi
[436]
occasionally appears randomly in gardens
[438]
around the UK and seeing as collectors
[440]
are willing to pay top dollar it's a
[443]
good excuse to finally go outside my
[445]
YouTube overlords don't let me Outdoors
[447]
anymore so you'll have to let me know
[448]
how it goes number four Lego they may
[452]
hurt more than childbirth to step on but
[454]
did you know some Lego bricks have a
[456]
higher rate of return than gold Lego
[458]
puts out new sets every year and retires
[461]
older sets every two years this has
[463]
resulted in a substantial secondhand
[465]
Market where the prices for retired sets
[468]
increase significantly full collector
[470]
sets can also rake up thousands like the
[473]
ultimate collector's Millennium Falcon
[475]
instances of which have sold for as high
[477]
as 15 grand at auction huge assorted
[480]
Lego collections regularly reach ten
[483]
thousand dollars and above on eBay too
[484]
so your tubs of random bricks and
[487]
figures could also be worth a pretty
[488]
penny but collectors are usually on the
[490]
hunt for specific missing pieces and are
[493]
willing to pay unbelievable prices to
[495]
complete their sets for instance Boba
[497]
Fett's legs alone sell for over two
[500]
hundred dollars while this red Darth
[502]
Vader helmet sells for over 400
[504]
misprinted pieces and prototypes also
[506]
list for thousands so even your faulty
[508]
Legos can make you a fortune definitely
[510]
worth checking the underset of your food
[512]
for number three first edition books
[516]
after you finish hunting for Game Boys
[518]
Furbies and Legos you should check out
[520]
your bookshelf
[521]
certain first edition books are worth a
[523]
fortune in good condition for example
[526]
the first edition of Harry Potter and
[527]
the Philosopher's Stone is usually worth
[529]
between forty thousand and fifty five
[532]
thousand dollars it's the only version
[534]
that states Joanna Rowling as the author
[536]
on the copyright page before she started
[538]
using her JK pen name only 500 copies
[541]
were printed in its first edition and
[543]
one copy sold in 2019 for almost a
[546]
hundred grand similarly only 1500 copies
[549]
of JRR Tokens The Hobbit were printed in
[551]
1937 and they quickly sold out a first
[555]
edition copy is now worth around sixty
[557]
five thousand dollars and one copy
[559]
signed by Tolkien to one of his former
[561]
students fetched nearly two hundred and
[563]
ten thousand dollars at auction in 2015
[566]
and covering American Authors first
[568]
editions of The Great Gatsby by F Scott
[570]
Fitzgerald are worth upwards of a
[572]
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
[574]
first edition of this 1925 novel can be
[577]
identified by a typo on the back of the
[579]
Dust jacket spelling Jay Gatsby the
[581]
lowercase j first editions of most
[584]
popular books will fetch a pretty penny
[586]
how can you tell what is and isn't a
[588]
first edition firstly check the number
[590]
line on the first page the lowest number
[592]
represents the printing of the book If a
[595]
one is present in the sequence that
[597]
usually indicates you've got the first
[598]
edition often Publishers print first
[600]
edition are first printing on the
[602]
copyright page though this could be
[604]
unclear at times it's worth visiting an
[606]
expert if you're uncertain before boldly
[609]
declaring yourself a proud owner of a
[611]
Gatsby numero uno number two Pyrex
[614]
dishes Pyrex makes super handy oven
[617]
proof varieties of dishes jugs and other
[619]
glassware almost everyone it seems has a
[622]
Pyrex Jugger too but their value extends
[625]
surprisingly far beyond their usefulness
[627]
vintage Pyrex dish sets sell for up to
[629]
eighteen hundred dollars online and
[631]
single limited edition prototypes have
[633]
been listed for as high as ten thousand
[636]
dollars collectors who've dubbed
[638]
themselves Pyrex junkies seek out dishes
[640]
made between the 1910s and 1970s the
[643]
most valuable of these are the opaque
[645]
dishes that have 4 floral or geometric
[647]
designs the more common transparent
[650]
versions aren't quite as valuable but
[652]
still fed to reasonable prices full sets
[654]
still these dishes could easily be sold
[657]
for chump change and garage sales by
[658]
owners unaware of their true value so it
[661]
really does pay to be in the know so go
[663]
visit your grandparents and older
[664]
relatives today but try to be subtle
[667]
while you're rummaging through their
[668]
kitchen cabinets before I reveal the
[670]
most valuable item you may very well own
[672]
here's an honorable mention that could
[674]
net you some easy cash if you can't find
[676]
any of the items I mentioned lying
[677]
around your house you probably have some
[680]
old board games in 2017 a Thrifty lady
[682]
named Laura nybauer Palmer had the
[685]
genius idea to turn old board games into
[687]
her side hustle and she's been pretty
[689]
successful with it she Begins by
[691]
researching the demand for replacement
[692]
game pieces and then purchases those
[695]
games at thrift stores rarely for more
[697]
than a couple bucks she then sells the
[699]
pieces on eBay based on the prices
[701]
people have bought them for in the past
[703]
through this super easy laid-back scheme
[705]
she made 200 150 dollars in six months
[708]
so it's not a fortune but for tiny
[710]
plastic game pieces that's a substantial
[712]
gain she clearly knows how to play the
[715]
game and I bet she's a master in
[717]
Monopoly number one Super Mario Brothers
[721]
since the original game was released in
[723]
1985 Super Mario Brothers has grown into
[726]
a household name and indeed many
[728]
households today contain a copy of at
[730]
least one Mario game but owners of the
[733]
original game for the Nintendo
[734]
Entertainment System could be sitting on
[736]
an absolute Goomba gold mine a standard
[739]
used copy with the original box can
[741]
fetch between forty dollars and six
[743]
hundred dollars but a sealed copy is a
[745]
whole other ballpark pristine copies
[748]
regularly fetch anywhere from a thousand
[750]
to thirteen thousand dollars and
[752]
occasionally even twenty five thousand
[754]
dollars depending on the condition but
[756]
in early 2019 one particular copy sold
[759]
for an incredible one hundred thousand
[762]
one hundred and fifty dollars at auction
[764]
making it the most expensive video game
[766]
ever sold it was the only existing
[769]
pre-release copy steel sealed with a
[771]
sticker as all subsequent copies were
[774]
sealed using shrink wrap so of course it
[777]
was totally worth the price if that
[779]
doesn't make you want to dig out the old
[780]
NES I don't know what will so after
[783]
watching this video have you realized
[785]

[786]

[789]
you most surprised to learn is secretly
