LGC Auctions, which specializes in the sale of collectibles, toys and electronic devices, put up an original sealed iPhone for $63,000 (equivalent to R$325,000 at the current dollar exchange rate). ABOUT The auction started on February 2 and ended after 27 bids last Sunday (19)..
The iPhone had a starting bid of $2,500 and the auction house estimated that the product would cost between $20,000 and $40,000. Therefore, the price for which the original iPhone was sold exceeded the expectations of the auction house. The product image posted by LGC Auctions shows the device in the box, completely sealed and untouched.
Released in 2007, the original iPhone had a 2 megapixel camera, a touch screen that was considered a great revolution at the time, and 8 MB of storage space. According to the product description, the sealed device belonged to tattoo artist Karen Green, who was unable to use an Apple mobile phone because its connection network was Verizon and the device could only work on an AT&T network. Looks like the tattoo artist was worth it by keeping the device sealed.
Auctions often give good prices for items that are rare or considered antiques. LGC Auctions itself has already auctioned several Apple products, including other sealed 2007 iPhone models. The device sold for $39,000 at the time, making this new auction even more successful. Time went by original iPhones should continue to sell for even higher prices. If you have sealed houses, it would be a good idea to sell them after a few years.
Apart from Steve Jobs’ mobile phone, any product owned by the creator of the iPhone is considered valuable. This is true, as even Jobs’ old sandal was auctioned off and reached what is believed to be a very high price of $60,000 during an auction that took place in November 2022. It wouldn’t be surprising if more articles from the former Apple CEO gather. absurd amounts.
