hot wheels diecast cars

Fresh water and maybe some fuel....

First of all, you have to look at 1806 vs. 2006 to get an idea of the type of things that stand the collectors test of time.


AOL 1.0 disk. Document with Microsoft letterhead signed by Bill Gates.

Gas station artifacts. Pen, keychain, print ads, receipt for one gallon of gas.

Currency from a size vs. future value perspective is good IF money collectors are still around. Once we go all digital it's possible that nobody will give a damn about old money. But I'd play it safe and put some mint condition bills in.

New York Times from 9/12. Won't be worth as much as a Titanic newspaper is today because people save this sort of thing now, but it will definitely have value.

People have brought up space memorabilia. I agree, but I think it would have to be just the right stuff. This one is difficult to predict.

The lightbulb we know today is in it's final hour, so a lightbulb in original packaging. Preferably one that claims to be long lasting on the box. The company may also matter. GE is probably a good bet.

A DVD of the movie AI. And an old VHS of Star Wars. Think of how we view Jules Verne today.

A set of new clothing with tags in a style that men and women typically wear today. Avoid anything that is a fad. Companies and store tag could matter. Levi jeans with a Wal-Mart tag would be a safe bet.

I got it, 1,000,000 posts on gfy.com with a sig selling for top dollar what else could you need.

What about some guns and bullets, new and old? They would last fine, and I doubt anyone will have seen one like that 200 years from now

High tehnology will surely arises... yet there are lots of disadvantages...

No one saw the 2 part South Park where Cartman was frozen for 500 years and all he wanted was a Wii. :1orglaugh

Matt 26z hit it on the head except you would need to include all the devices needed to play back the media...sorta like that thing we sent on a neverending journey out into space that aliens might find.

You wouldnt want to leave a collection of VHS tapes and in some freak accident all that was left was a few hundred Beta players....Everything you choose to leave should have info on how to get it work, even what alternating current is if that was to change.

Oh yeah and your standard high school revolving Globe:winkwink:

One more source for you....Public broadcasting - Antiques roadshow

Old furniture and other crap that has increased 3000% in value...just a nugget of info for ya

original handwritten autographs from people who you think will be in the history books...

What if somebody had a, "Hey wassup from Abraham Lincoln" autograph, it would be priceless.

Guns is a good idea also.

Canned goods--lots and lots of canned goods. :pimp

Freeze my sperm and put it in your time capsule.
Women fight over it all the time.

Paper towels.. buy paper towels!!
