Given summat years ago - now worth few quid :/

Without knowing what it is then it's unlikely that anyone could advise whether it's likely to appreciate any further and if you don't want to reveal it for whatever reason then that rather stymies anything other than idle expectation.

For me if it was something that I liked and didn't need the money urgently then I'd be tempted to keep it irrespective of whether it was likely to appreciate or not.

If it wasn't something I was particularly attached to and there was a risk that the value might fall I'd probably be more tempted to sell.
 
Just sell it.

What is this second child you speak of?:)
Just open a bank account for ur kids when they are born and just pay like £250 a month or whatever you can.

They would be rich kids when they turn 18, to the tune of £54k. My parents opened an account for me and stuck £1k into it for me to go to uni and then gave me a bit more for each year of uni. But £54k?
 
Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.
 
It's an item that seems to be increasing in value by a whooping £50 a year!!!

Now that it is worth £1,000, with an inflation rate of 5% it is losing £50 a year, but at the same time due to its collectibility/rarity it is gaining another £50.

Guess what OP, keeping it for 20 years to hand it over to your child won't give it any more value than what you can get today!!

sell it.
 
I was given something several (+/- 20 years) ago and I have now found out it's worth (at the moment) a grand or so.

What should I do? Sell it and profit, or keep, and hand it down to my daughter to profit in 20 more years or so or keep it and give to hypothetical 2nd child?

(I could do with a grand - new monitor - car back on the road - etc etc etc)

Daughter has a fair inheritance coming soon (to be held in trust). 2nd hypothetical child has nothing - certainly from an inheritance pov.

Keep the artefact and hope it gains in value to pay into hypothetical child's account, or blow it on me or what?

I'm sorry :(
