Boxed iPhone Sells For Record-Breaking $63,000 At Auction
Have you ever sold anything and made a good amount of profit from it? I’m not going to lie- either I have bad luck with listing items for sale or I just have never had anything worth much. LOL.
I am constantly hearing about people putting things up for bids in auctions and walking away with a good amount of cash. Even some of my friends list old toys they have on eBay and come away with hundreds of dollars. As for me? I’m lucky if I make 10 bucks off an old video game on Facebook Marketplace.
That brings me to the latest sale I read about. According to Insider, an original iPhone just sold at auction on Sunday for more than $63,000! I’d certainly take that cash!
The 8GB smartphone was apparently given as a gift to a woman, who’s a cosmetic tattoo artist as a “congratulations” for starting a new job in 2007.
Get this – when she received the phone as a gift, she didn’t want to switch carriers, so she left it in the box, put it on a shelf, and forgot all about it.
Now, 16 years later, she walks away with over 60 grand!
I don’t know about you, but I will check my attic and closets to ensure I didn’t put something away that I didn’t think I would use.
I wouldn’t mind making some extra money!!!

I am straight-up in love with custom keyboards. I use my keyboard every day. Having a custom keyboard makes me feel like my workspace has more personality. I’m happier typing away on something that reflects my taste and adds an element of luxury to what can be a mundane task. Also, the kids LOVE them. I got hooked on them after seeing my daughter’s keyboard that her boyfriend customized as a gift. We liked it so much, we got my son a customized board too.
I’ve scoured the internet for cool keycaps. Some are just a few keys, others are entire sets. I love the special keys, but the full sets give you a complete look at the keyboard. Also, the super specialty keys are show pieces, but not as functional. They don’t actually identify the keys… but they’re awesome for replacing function or direction keys. The one-offs and small sets are still SUPER FUN. For the full keycap sets, I looked for sets that were easy to read and functional but still had style. If you’re committing to a full set, functionality is a Must Have… see what I did there?
This list begins with the single or small set keycaps. Then I’ll show you a couple of good boards for complete custom key sets—lastly, the sweet, sweet full-set keycaps. I recommend zooming in on these. The details are lost in a quick glance.

But according to him, the list of others is pretty lengthy.
