TV’s new antiques expert Angus Ashworth has urged treasure seekers to look for old games consoles in the attic rather than family china.
Auctioneer Angus, 37, said that early games computers, including Nintendos, can sell for £1000 and ZX Spectrums up to £500 among middle-aged buyers with cash to spare.

“The reason for that is a lot of collectibles are down to nostalgia.
“When people get to that 40 or 50 age bracket – a period of your life when your kids have flown the nest and all of a sudden you’ve got a little bit of cash – then they start buying the things they really wanted or loved when they were young.

Vintage ZX Spectrum computers are currently listed on eBay for anything from £20 to £500 depending on their condition and whether they are being sold as working or for parts.
Rare vintage Nintendos are listed for more than £1000.
