Have you ever considered those old acquisitions that you or even your parents kept at home? Look, it doesn’t even have to be very old, like things from the last century. I think maybe one Original first generation iPhone? Do you have one? But it should be sealed, okay!

Well, the most recent valuables seller, Karen Green, had one of these replicas at home and sold it for the low price of $63,000, roughly R$320,000. Another hundred thousand, and we’ll be talking about half a million reais for a device released in 2007.
