Jamie Shaw, 22, from Gateshead said: "Well I think it's good news. I have 2 Nokia 3210's in a drawer in wor room that are ancient so must be worth a fortune and 3 Bitty McLean cd's and he's dead...I think so they'll be worth more."</p> <p>Fiona Hall, 29, from Blackpool said: "My little girl has a Nintendo Gameboy Advance with Zelda and Mario World - she doesn't have the original charger for it but I bought one from the market. It's in great condition so I wonder what I'll...I mean she'll get for it. This is brilliant. Will I be on telly?"</p> <p>BBC Spokesperson, Clive Norton, said: "An antique, by definition, is an item of historical value or sentimental value which is no longer in production or an artifact so there will be a vetting process before our experts are exposed to an array of xbox's and wii's." </p>
