For example, a mint condition slate black iPhone 5 or iPad 4th gen on native 6.1.3, running games long pulled from the App Store will be worth thousands. It will be similar to the retro game boom of 2020. That’s my prediction anyway..

The bit that makes this tricky is that it’s all tied to an email ID.

Not as simple as selling some hardware or a game cart - you can’t wipe it as the activation servers won’t recognise it, so it’s ‘stuck’ with an Apple ID that’s probably tied to loads of other stuff.
