BARGAIN Hunt star Charles Hanson has advised that items that many people consider ‘junk’ lying around their homes could potentially be worth thousands if sold at an auction. With the cost of living impacting families across the country, any additional income could be helpful this year. The former Bargain Hunt star has noticed an increase in people selling vintage video games and retro video game consoles, which have also gone up in value according to him. There has been a surge in demand for selling old items to acquire cash, according to Hanson’s Auctioneers, which is owned by Charles. He suggests looking at items grown-up children no longer use, such as vintage video games, CDs, and records. Charles explained how people are “unaware of auction trends” or cannot envision that “treasures lie dormant in their attic or under the bed.” Anyone interested in a free valuation of their unwanted items can contact Hansons Auctioneers through email or phone.
