A first generation iphone has just sold for $63k on an online auction site.
The seller revealed she had been gifted the original iphone from an old job, choosing not to open it as she had her own phone at the time.
The seller kept the phone, unopened, hidden in a pair of pyjamas for over a decade – before discovering its value and cashing in via an online auction site!
The same auction site appears to sell a variety of ‘retro’ memorabilia items, including previous listings for 70s and 80s toys, fan memorabilia and other random items from big franchises such as Star Wars, Transformers and G.I. Joe.
Some pieces are selling for MEGA MONEY.
Casinos En Ligne has ranked the most valuable memorabilia– based on the auction site’s list prices, sale prices, number of bids and listings…
