Brick cellular phones
Personal story here: A friend and I wrote the book “The Totally Sweet 90s,” a loving ode to all things from the era of slap bracelets and scrunchies. In the process, we hit thrifts and online stores to scoop up a trunkload of ’90s memories, both for a photo shoot and book tour, and also just for fun.
One of the priciest things we purchased was an old brick-size cellular phone — you remember, the huge ones we toted around back in the days of Crystal Pepsi. I’m still shocked at how much those retired giants sell for online, so if you see one at a thrift, consider buying and reselling it. Just don’t drop it on your foot.
