It's a fact... We all have something still at home that we don't use and that could bring us some financial freedom. From the most complex objects and composed of metals and precious stones, to a simple old book. In fact, everything may be worth some money... or some fortune!

A collectible investment, for the most part, acquires value for its rarity and, therefore, due to the impossibility of obtaining the new article at the moment. In this way, special, limited and/or autographed editions can earn you a lot of money without having to make a megalomanic investment in expensive cars or watches. Whether buying or selling, a good solution is the demand for online auctions, such as  Leilão Justo, which will guarantee you the possibility of doubling or tripling your money in the blink of an eye. But after all, what are the best collectible investments? Come with us and you'll know everything about how you can make money from the items you no longer use.

GOLD AND JEWELRY

Precious metals, such as gold, have long been an alternative to traditional investments such as stocks and bonds. Gold is therefore one of the few assets that can be highly liquid and, at the same time, scarce. Thus, this can be a luxury, or as a long-term investment, playing a major role in a portfolio of collectible investments.

In our blog, we already have an article dedicated to Gold. You can read it here!

In this sense, the state of conservation, the past and the origin of the piece can give it extraordinary values! These can be determined by the contrast and carats of the piece which, when in good condition, will yield you, guaranteed, a successful investment.

SILVER

Remember the pendant or the necklace you have at the bottom of the drawer? Or maybe you have a kitchen set that you didn't even know might be silver... yes, maybe they're really valuable items. But why is that? Isn't silver cheap?

In fact, when times get tough and inflation increases, some investors turn to silver to protect their investments. Although this is less liquid than gold, it has higher volatility that, consequently, can bring you more gains. For this reason, in times of uncertainty, investors and collectors use silver as a reserve of value. To get a feel, a simple kitchen set like the one in the photo below can yield you a few hundred euros.

OFFICIAL GAME SHIRTS / OLD BOOKS - AUTOGRAPHED

There's nothing like an autograph from our idol... especially if it is associated with a unique article. Whether in the case of sport, with official game jerseys used on a particular occasion, or a rare first-edition book, the fact is that an autograph associated with these items can value them even more.

But first of all, make sure you're buying or selling an item with an original, trusted autograph. For this, you must do so with reliable homes, as is the case of Leilão Justo which, with more than 10 years of experience, only puts at auction certified items tested by its team of excellence.

WINES AND SPIRITS

Currently, the trend in the demand for rare wines and whiskeys is becoming increasingly high. According to data from The English consultant Frank Knight, in 10 years, a bottle of whisky can increase its value by 582%. Thus, depending on their exclusivity, these collectible investments can reach multimillion-dollar values, such as the Macallan 1926 bottle, which sold for £1.5 million, around €1.73 million.

However, like the autographed items, it is preponderant to assess the originality of the bottle you are buying/selling so that you don't make the same mistake as Zhang Wei, a Chinese millionaire who bought a glass of a supposed rare Macallan bottle for 10,000 euros, having discovered that it was fake.

CONTEMPORARY ART

The saying was. Art is subjective. And your value too! In this sense, investing in new talent and emerging artists can reveal a prosperous economic future for your portfolio of collectible investments..

In fact, due to the exponential growth of contemporary art, what can now be a piece acquired for an almost symbolic value, in the future can turn into hundreds, or even thousands of euros. Thus, depending on the artist grows in popularity, also the value of his works and, therefore, of his profit.
