How so? Under the umbrella of antiques now referred to as ‘antech’, one man’s junk may become another man’s treasure.
Antech? According to online antiques marketplace LoveAntiques.com, interest in ‘antech’ is on the rise, with the term used to describe any tech product older than two generations of technology.
But it’s not just any old item? Phones most likely to be worth sizeable sums are typically the first model in a range, or phones with an unusual design, those that have become associated with iconic films or those made from luxury materials.
The most valuable…? The top 10 list ranges from the classic “brick” phones to some very ‘Back to the Future-esque’ devices, all of which tally up to more than £25,000 in total. A pre-production iPhone 1 prototype tops the list at £10,000, followed by a Motorola 8000x and Nokia 7700.
Could you be holding on to an antique phone worth thousands?
