10 Classic Mobile Phones That Are Worth A Fortune

7. Motorola DynaTAC ~$500 (£385)

The original mobile phone... no, really. The Motorola DynaTAC was the first commercially available mobile phone released back in 1983 and if you had the cash to buy one ($4,350 / £3,500), you know how much these are valued.

Granted, a collector isn't likely to kick in as much cash as you did back in the early '80s, but these are still worth some serious money.

The most interesting aspect of this device is that it was just a phone with no additional features. They don't make phones like that anymore and getting one of these on eBay will run you around $500 (£385), but if you have one in the original box, it can go as high as $10,000 (£7,715)!
