A first-generation Apple iPhone recently sold for more than $63,356.40 at an auction, according to the auction house.
Bidding for the 2007 phone began on Feb. 2 at $2,500, the LCG Auction’s website said. The product – still shrink-wrapped in its box – received 27 bids by the time the auction concluded Sunday.
The item was expected to fetch between $20,000 and $40,000.

A photo on the auction website shows the phone inside an unopened black box. The phone features a 2-megapixle camera and an “innovative” touchscreen. The model that sold at auction came with 8 MB of storage.
Cosmetic tattoo artist Karen Green was gifted the iPhone more than a decade ago, but she couldn’t use it because she had Verizon, and it only worked on AT&T’s network at the time, Business Insider reported.
