The vintage object from the 80s that you probably have at home and still use in your daily life.

Throughout our lives, we accumulate objects that we rarely use, but that are often full of memories.

When we start tidying up, the typical question arises: "Why don't I throw it away?" And we end up putting it back where it belongs. It's a repetitive cycle that's hard to escape. All this is relevant to the following: Did you know that certain items are highly valued by collectors and could represent an unexpected source of income? Perhaps, without knowing it, you're making the right decision by keeping them.

This time, I'm going to tell you about an object that was found in many homes in Spain. It's an IBM keyboard from 1985. On the todocoleccion website, it's selling for... 90 euros! And the description reads as follows:

"Used in good condition. It has some small marks from use, but it works correctly. Includes a keyboard with an Ñ key , manufactured in 1985/86 . PS/2 connection . The cable shows signs of use: it needs some cleaning and is slightly stretched, as can be seen in the photos."

The M model, sold on the aforementioned portal, refers to a series of keyboards originally designed by IBM from 1984 onwards , and later also manufactured by Lexmark International, Maxi Switch and Unicomp .

Although there are several versions with their own features, most share a spring-based design and interchangeable keys . This type of keyboard is highly valued by computer enthusiasts and frequent typists, thanks to its durability, reliability , and the tactile and audible feedback it offers when typing.

For this reason, they are highly coveted pieces. Because they are no longer manufactured. Many people want to get their hands on these historic pieces: perhaps you have one of these keyboards hidden away at home?

ANOTHER COVETED OBJECT FROM THE SAME DECADE, THE 80s

It is the Sony Trinitron TV.

Trinitron was Sony's television technology, which began to gain popularity in the late 1960s. It became a major selling point for the Japanese company, claiming that the images were 25% brighter compared to televisions of the time.

The slogan in the 80s was ... " Sony Black Trinitron TVs , The New Look!"

Other manufacturers used Trinitron tubes and supplied them themselves. These included Apple, Dell, Mitsubishi, NEC, and IBM. Sony announced that it discontinued Trinitron CRTs in March 2008.

One of these televisions is being sold on the Milanuncios website for almost 1,000 euros. It was also a fixture in many homes across the country. Its value clearly demonstrates that certain pieces become exceptional, and that greatly increases their value.
