MEMORABILIA from your favourite musical artists, old concert tickets and instruments lying about the loft could be worth a fortune. There's no better time to have a clear out than in the New Year, and some old bits of supposed tat may be worth more than you think.

But for the everyday person, it can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. So The Sun spoke to Andy Sagar, from online auction house Auctionet, who revealed some of the musical items you might have hidden in your home worth a pretty penny. From Taylor Swift tickets to guitars, you could be sitting on a goldmine worth £1,000s.
Here are the top items to look out for that could give your bank account a well-needed boost in January. Andy said guitars often have "great resell" potential, particularly if they're a Fender or Gibson brand. If the instrument's sound is still pristine and has an interesting backstory, you could sell it for big numbers at auction.
For example, at the time of writing, a Gibson Mandolin guitar was fetching bids of over £1,400 on Auctionet. Andy explained: "This is an original mandolin with no repairs or modifications from Gibson 1918 and comes with an original case. "The instrument attracts high bids thanks to its good condition and historical origins.".
For those without a 1918 mandolin lying about their house, you might still be able to get a decent amount for a more modern instrument. At the time of writing, a 1950s-style 20th century Fender Stratocaster guitar with a "classic design" had received a bid of £665 on Auctionet.
