A lot of people did that. They were bought out by Carphone Warehouse so a lot of stock became theirs, which they sold off but quite a few staff got their hands on some bits and pieces. I bought a radio scanner and a CB radio, which are still in my mother's attic. I figure when WW3 starts and the mobile networks go down, we're going to need some form of means of communication
No idea if they're worth anything now, I did used to get the scanner out now and then, but after the emergency services went digital with their comms, there wasn't much else interesting to tune into unless you get off on listening to taxi drivers bipping on about their next pick-up.
I did once hear an unintentionally embarrassing and funny interaction between two local amateur radio enthusiasts who were arguing over who had the better equipment. Might bring the scanner out again when the Sun spots go crazy and send us signals from all over the world
