JURASSIC PARK BOARD GAME – UP TO £262
Boardgames have become somewhat obsolete among youngsters thanks to online gaming and smart phones – but that doesn’t mean that their value has decreased.

JEWELED SPLENDOR BARBIE – AROUND £120
Barbie has become one of the most collectable items among toy enthusiasts and special edition models are among the most sought after.
Jeweled Splendor Barbie hit the shelves in 1996 as part of the FAO Schwarz Floral Signature Collection.
In her box, collector will pay in and around the £100 mark for this original.
SPICE CAM – £170

MCDONALD’S HALLOWEEN HAPPY MEAL – £65
Remember the days when your food came with a free gift?
Well your mum may well have stuck them on the carboot as soon as she got the chance but some McDonald’s toys are worth hanging on to.
If you’re lucky enough to still have a retro Happy Halloween tub from the chain you can pick up £65 profit for it on eBay.
PRINCESS DIANA BEANIE BABY – UP TO £70

However, the purple bear didn’t make anywhere near that amount.
TYCollector.com lists the values of all the different Beanie Babies and has warned people against paying excessive amounts on eBay, explaining the bear is actually worth between £30 and £70.
