Do you know of any kind of item that is very old, clean and good shape but has little or no antique value?

My mother found a book back in 1980 (?) at a garage sale. It was a 1959 printing of 'Introduction to Honda Motor Company'.  I'm into old motorcycles, so the price of 25 cents was worth it. I held on to it for years and this big Honda collector found out about it and eventually gave me $100. (US) for it.  

My first wife had an aunt who could easily have been described that way.

Edit  Both not only passed on, but are dead, dead, dead---Like Mark Twain, I have read certain obituaries with pleasure.  I once told that aunt (who raised her) that my greatest concern was that she would turn out like the aunt.  

Yep, she did. This post was edited by tom jackson at April 25, 2019 7:41 AM MDT

That is a very specialized body of knowledge and always changing with the fads and fancies of collectors.   Nothing is worth anything unless there is someone willing to buy it.  If you have ever watched American Pickers on TV you will know the kind of trash that brings in the good money.   People scrap all kinds of things constantly that might be worth something to others but how would they know?  Which just makes them worth more since there are fewer of that item to be had.  Since I have no interest in learning that body of knowledge and keeping up with it I just go with what I like no matter what others are or are not willing to pay for it. 

No , i dont know much about antique things. The only thing deemed 'old' that i had in the past was old nintendo videogames... I was a seller on ebay, i was selling old nintendo things and it still has a high value for those games.

The value of an item is based on what the buyer is willing to pay. However, if an item has emotional value then usually it is priceless.

Can't say I do ... but I see plenty of the opposite.
Things that are sold as "antiques" just because they are old and decrepit.

Everything in my fossil collection.
