The eight Apple items are three 2007 iPhone models, a first-generation iPod, and three 2008 iPhone models, one of which is still in its original shipping box. One notable inclusion is a 20-year employee award for 2020 made from recycled aluminum, which is the same material as the MacBook Air and Mac mini. There’s a card from Cook and the item is still has its original packaging.

LCG sold an original, factory-sealed iPhone last year for a tidy sum of $40,000. In February, the same firm sold another for around $63,000.
