WTF...Unopened first-gen iPhone appears on eBay for $10,000!!

After months of rumors and speculation, Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone on January 9, 2007 in front of a large Macworld audience at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The handset would later become available for purchase on June 29 of that year, and the rest, as they say, is history. And now you can own part of that great history for a mere $10,000…

That’s right, an unopened 8GB 1st-gen iPhone has surfaced on eBay this week with a Buy It Now price of 10 grand. The seller describes the device as a “rare collectors vintage box set.”
The seller, samsonbible, obviously believes the device is worth the money, although there have been no bids. But for what it’s worth, he is a Top-rated seller and has 100% feedback.

And as it turns out, he’s not the only one who thinks so highly of the smartphone. Phsledge is also selling a factory-sealed first-gen iPhone for $10,000. But it hasn’t seen any bids either.

It’ll be interesting to see if either handset sells, because despite the fact that the iPhone was/is one of the most disruptive and popular consumer devices of its era, it can’t be worth $10,000 (yet).

Ebay post:

why the !! would anybody buy that?

looks like it got wrapped again

I was thinking the same thing.

...so I'm guessing the 16GB is going for...$10,100?

of course its no bids, its a buy it now deal

i almost accidentally clicked the "buy it now" button...[pic] i would have lost all my savings for this bs...[pic]

[pic] don't worry, some Apple die hard will buy it

I'm selling my '89 Motorola for $50,000

Smart move for keeping in its original packaging. $10K is OD, but I'm sure someone would buy that for like $2,000-$3,000 -- that's most definitely a collector's item.

Judging that the backpack style cells are worthless it will never be a collector item id buy for 100 tho if i knew how to get it to work on metro

[pic] @ $50 shipping. as if he didn't[..]rape you enough on the phone
