Think twice before throwing out these things

By Staff
You could be tossing $100 bills in the trash every time you clean out the house or garage.
The values of ordinary looking items has skyrocketed in recent years, according to Tony Hyman, host of "What's It Worth?" on CBS-TV. Because many valuables were inexpensive or look like junk, folks don't realize how much these items are worth to today's collectors.
As a result they get thrown away or sold on lawns for pennies.
The top 10 items you should never sell at a yard sale include these items:
Other common items with uncommon values include lace, Busch beer mugs, pocket knives, electric guitars, PEZ dispensers, war souvenirs (including Vietnam), transistor radios, calculators, 78 and 33 r.p.m. records, cap guns, auto owner's manuals, cookie jars, nodding head dolls, Disneyland souvenirs, yo-yo's (especially rhinestone studded), board games based on TV shows and hundreds of other items.
