Another Original iPhone is Going up for Auction, and this is What we Anticipate it to Fetch

According to Karen Green, who spoke to Insider, she received the iPhone as a gift in 2007 but never used it. She was inspired to sell it after seeing a similar sale take place last October. In comparison to the device’s $599 list price, a sealed original iPhone sold for a record-breaking $39,340 in October.

This one could sell for “at least $50,000,” according to the auction house where Green has listed her original iPhone. Green revealed in an interview with Insider that she received this iPhone as a gift in 2007, despite the fact that she had Verizon service at the time and the original iPhone could only be used with AT&T.

Green decided not to sell it at the time and kept it in its original sealed box, “wrapped in a pair of felt pajamas for extra storage.” “The only reason why I am selling that phone is because I need to support this business,” she says of her decision to sell the iPhone in order to raise money for her brand-new tattoo studio.

Although the starting bid is $2,500, it’s expected to sell for at least $50,000 in the end. Given the steadily rising prices of sales on eBay and through auction houses, we’re assuming it’s a low number.
