What is the value of more than 5 years old unused electronic item?

Question

Update:

Items list:

(1) DVD / VCR player

(2) old CRT television

Answer 1

I just bought an electric blanket which had not been used since it was made in 1976.    At that time the retail price was £18,   I paid £10.   The equivalent to £18 in 1976 is something insane, like about £130.

Answer 2

Depends on the item but usually about half its cost. Keep it another 25 years it may be worth double or triple. Has to be complete like new in box

Answer 3

If they are “mint in box”, hold them for another 15-20 years. Not old enough now to be worth as much as you paid even.

Answer 4

depends if its new or used , 5 years is a long time in electronics . why what have  you got ..

Answer 5

Government inventory for electronics 5 years and older is zero and is surplussed out. Personal items have whatever value for their usefulness or what someone else is willing to pay for it.
