RUMMAGE through your cupboards and drawers for items that could be worth a pretty penny.
Everyone can use a cash boost at this time of year, and it could be as easy as selling belongings that you previously thought were worthless.
Here’s what to look out for . . .
VINYL RECORDS: If you have records from the 1960s you could expect to sell them for an average £4,000 on eBay, according to insurance firm Homeprotect.
The likes of the Beatles and Bob Dylan are in big demand.
Promo releases of music, which were distributed by record companies before the official dates, are also among the more valuable vinyl.

TECH: Forgotten phones and electronics gathering dust could be worth a pretty penny, even models long outdated.
BlackBerrys and Nokia phones are a blast from the past but will sell for an average of £30, according to second-hand selling site Gumtree.
Even physical answering machines, which were used on landlines before voicemail, can expect to sell for £35.
Old games consoles will also fetch a decent sum with PlayStations 1 and 2 typically worth £45.
TOYS: Old toys from the ’80s and ’90s can now sell for big bucks if you have some boxed away in your loft or attic.
My Little Pony, Barbies and Matchbox toys, are among products that can be collectors’ items, especially in mint condition.
People will also pay for old Furby toys, Tamagotchis, Polly Pocket and Bratz dolls on selling site eBay.
OLD COINS: Look through old purses or money boxes for rare coins, which can sell for thousands on eBay.
The scarcest ones sell for an average price of £11,670 on the site, according to Homeprotect.
Check coins for unusual designs and search on eBay to see how much similar listings have sold for in the recent past.
Beatrix Potter 50p coins, as well as the Kew Gardens 50p coin are among some of the most valuable.
