Its owner received it as a gift from her friends over fifteen years ago but never bothered to use the device.

Which is inherently an unequal unit of measure

But then imply that "any" phone can get the same treatment

That's just not true

    One person's junk...another person's treasure.
    I wouldn't give you a plug nickel for one.

      Supus, 20 Feb 2023I will tell you secret... The battery is dead. 🤡Not only is the battery dead, but it's likely to be inflated. The device inside is going to be bloated and breaking apart because of the lithium battery. This device will not last the next few decades since it will simply explode spontaneously eventually.

        How rude must you be to not only not open a gift given to you, but to sell it. Good lord.

              IpsDisplay, 20 Feb 2023Basically this is a first edition And your theory won�... moreDoesn't matter what phone it is
              Any popular discontinued phone will be worth thousands if still sealed
              You could probably sell a Galaxy Note 7 for hundreds of thousands considering that's the rarest phone on the planet since most of them either exploded, were returned or scrapped

                Sorry, but Pizza bitcoin story was more interesting to read than an eaten apple.

                    to the one who got it, Im sure he/she won't open it.
                    the value of this will likely just rise.

                      Good luck with that! factory sealed can mean a lot these days, as EverythingApplePro had found out the hard way (youtube.com/watch?v=UH5nIVENf2Y)...

                        nutsss, factory sealed PlayStation 1 or 2 is a better buy and nostalgic for you.

                              Narazumono, 20 Feb 2023So basically Buy an iPhone 14 Keep it sealed for 15 year... moreBasically this is a first edition

                              And your theory won't work AS WELL for an iPhone 14


                                Well, so will the new owner open the box?

                                  So basically
                                  Buy an iPhone 14
                                  Keep it sealed for 15 years
                                  Auction it
                                  Profit

                                    Damn

                                      Tigolebitties, 20 Feb 2023Hard to believe it when ppl can just reseal the box easily ... moreNot really when you factor in how much of a pain in the ass was changing carriers back in those days.

                                      It wasn't only the tech (CDMA vs GSM), but the coverage, services and prices.
