It's time to spring clean. Dust off those boxes you just might be sitting on a gold mine.
As KHON2's Brianne Randle explains - one family's clutter can become cold hard cash.
Verle Momiyama is crazy for collectibles. She has bins and boxes of Barbies, Disney and dolls.
But when her garage could no longer serve as a garage - I mean there was no place to pull a car in, she knew she needed an intervention.
"That's kind of where I'm at, would like for people to come and have at it," said Moriyama.
Cue Andres Harnisch.
"I'm German, so in Germany when we look at Americans going shopping we always say my my, they buy a lot, " said Harnisch.
As a professional appraiser, Harnisch was called in to turn Verle's spring clean into some spending green.
Remember those Nascars?
"That's a whole Nascar bin and that's a whole Nascar bin," said Harnisch.
Verle bought them each for $15 ten years ago.
"I'm thinking they could easily be sold for $15 again."
A certain driver - by the name of Dale Earnhart - could get twice that.
"There might be a chance you could sell it for $30-50 now."
Add up that dusty box and cha-ching - that's $90.
"Old one of those discs, still fresh from Bambie and all those and I sold them to Saudi Arabia actually, via Ebay."
Sold them for $79.
Harnisch says never underestimate what you may find buried in a box or bin.
"I sold just a Shirley Temple doll, and old doll where eyes were broken, for $450 on Ebay."
If Verle plays her cards right - all that clutter in her garage could become hundreds in cash.
"All you need to find is two people who really want it and then you can get whatever they are willing to spend."
It's true what they say - one woman's trash is another woman's treasure.
"I think to really have a real collectors item, need to keep it for another 40 years."
"Not keeping it," said Verle.
