Thanks, hipsters.

Your never-ending quest for niche has resulted in a price surge of vintage gadgets.

Quick, rummage through your storage and dig out any of the below – you could be hoarding some serious cash, according to Endsleigh Insurance which collected its data from eBay.

And learn from the mistakes of this woman, who threw out an Apple 1 computer worth £130,000.


1. Nokia 3310 – £200

SNAKE. Forget the dawn of text messaging – it was all about Snake. Now the iconic phone has reached the giddy heights of more than £200 on many auction sites.

2. Gamecube – £1,000

The Gamecube was only around for six sweet years, but this short-lived console is now worth a grand. Game of choice: Super Smash Bros Melee.



3. Dreamcast – £800

The consule keeps on giving. Dreamcast’s popularity hasn’t dwindled since its launch in 1999.

4. First Generation iPod – £9,793

WHOA!? This jaw-droppingly large price-tag is for all those first gennies still in their original packaging.

If you’ve opened it (because you wanted to use it or something stupid) then it’s worth around £650.

5. Sony Walkman Cassette – £200

The humble cassette player has had a hipster resurgence, and you can snap up one of these vintage delights for a couple of hundy. Nice.

And if you’ve still got one of those Sony Walkman CD players then you could get £390.

6. Nintendo 64 – £1,316

Remember when you spent hours playing James Bond on Big Head mode and your mother warned you’d amount to nothing? Prove her wrong by making nearly £1,500 from this bad boy.

7. Boombox Ghettoblaster – £1,447

Who needs portable convinience when you can embrace your inner Fresh Prince?
