According to a February 19 report, your old iPhone may be worth a lot of money. While the latest mobile phones or TVs may be expensive, old electronics can still sell for a high price. Scarcity and retro value can greatly increase the value of a product, and even an outdated product may sell for thousands of dollars on the market.
So if you own an older Apple product, like a first-generation iPod or iPhone, you can sell it to the right buyer for a much higher price than the market price. Remember, if you have the original packaging, these things are more valuable, because then the buyer will be more convinced that it is genuine and not illegally obtained.
For example, the original iPhone of the first generation sold for as much as 9,900 pounds (about 85,000 yuan), while the iPod Classic sold for as much as 2,200 pounds (about 19,000 yuan). With the iPod, what attracts some people is not only its collectible value, but also because they can store a lot of music. However, the value of the old iPod and iPhone pales in comparison to the price of Apple's old computers. The first Macintosh computer now costs as much as £2,300 (about 20,000 yuan).
If you have a rare Apple-1, you're rich, with a list price of up to £1.1 million (about 9.46 million yuan) on eBay. If you don't have one, it's a pity, maybe they've been forgotten in any corner. So while Apple may be selling high because of the cost of technology, maybe one day their collectible value will far exceed the price, so you can think of it as an investment.
If you have an old Apple product now, think twice, whether to sell it now or wait. If you can make a lot of money selling it now, will it be worth more money in 10 years? Imagine whether by 2035 an iPod Classic would be worth as much as a mansion in Staffordshire.
