PEZ aren't as popular as they once were, and their dispensers are typically rendered decorative these days. But did you know that you could make extra money by selling some of your old PEZ dispensers?
As with most collectibles, age, condition, and rarity determine the worth of each piece. Dispensers released before the 1980s have no "feet" or base and often carry a higher price tag, as do ones with misprints.
Here, we've detailed 12 PEZ dispensers that could make you a pretty penny.

In 1979, PEZ released a Walt Disney Goofy dispenser. With peach skin, black features, and a red hat, it's a simplistic model of dispenser but absolutely darling.

Some PEZ dispensers are never released to the public, and those models can be worth a small fortune.
The 1982 World's Fair Astronaut B PEZ dispenser never made it to production, and there are only two in existence.
While it's unlikely that you'll ever come across one of these rare finds, if you do, you'll want to know that in 2006, one of them sold at auction for $32,205.
Make-A-Face PEZ dispenser

With the ongoing popularity of Mr. Potato Head came the need to create your own everything.
The "Make-A-Face" PEZ dispenser from the 1970s came with numerous parts and is worth quite a bit if you still have every piece.
This model was discontinued because of a fear of choking on the small pieces, but if you have one you could get upwards of $4,000.
