Last year, we saw many original and unopened iPhones go up for auction. In February of this year, a first-generation iPhone sold for 100 times its actual price. The auction started with a bid of 2,500 dollars and ended with a buyer paying 63,000 dollars, setting a record. However, an auction house that claims to have a special first-generation iPhone could overturn this record.
This first-generation iPhone is very rare!
After the boxed iPhone madness peaked in February, a few more 8GB models were purchased. Of course, the prices gradually dropped, and the last one was able to find a buyer for around 18,000 dollars. The LCG auction site, which started its latest auction on the anniversary of the original iPhone’s release, has four sealed original iPhones. One of them is a very special model – a 4GB iPhone that was produced for only a few months.
As we mentioned above, the most expensive auction ended with a US buyer paying 63,000 dollars. But now it’s believed that this record could be broken. The LCG auction site believes that the 4GB sealed original iPhone, one of the first to be released, will sell for between 50,000 and 100,000 dollars. In other words, the most expensive iPhone auction is about to change hands.
The auction, which started at 2 pm on June 29, will continue until Sunday, July 16. The starting bid for this rare 4GB first-generation iPhone model was quite shocking. This auction started at a high price of 10,000 dollars. Also on auction were an 8GB boxed first-generation iPhone and a 16GB boxed first-generation iPhone.
Auction starts at 100.000 dollars
We mentioned that the special 4GB model was auctioned starting at 10,000 dollars. The 8GB model was sold for 5,000 dollars, and the 16GB model was put up for sale for 2,500 dollars. Of course, the final sale price of this special iPhone model will be much higher than these models.
