How Much is the original 1st edition iphone worth to collectors?

Around how many years do you think it will take this to become a collectors item for Apple fans.
Tip for best answer: M$3.30
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I assume you're talking about the "Apple iPhone 8GB 8 GB Original 2G AT&T MP3 Touch Music."

Several years ago, I was in a pawn shop in Ft.Lauderdale--we happened in there for some reason or another. I looked at a handheld radio scanner (I'm a ham radio oerator) and asked thwe price.

He put the model number into eBay and came up with what the market would bear.

This IS it, pictured below.. It says in the description "First Generation."

Your current price as of this writing, is USD $0.99 + $6.99 shipping

There are a bunch listed at that price; probably NR. One has a "buy it now" price of $200.00.

Just search for "originl iphone" on eBay to find them.
If you click on the "buy it now" items, yo'll see that the asking price hovers around $200.

Not much right now, but if you wait 15 years, it may be worth something. But it must be in pristine condition. The original 128K Mac sold in 1984 is worth quite a bit. Just the box itself sold on eBay in 2002 for more than $500 without the computer! Worth more than it's weight in gold. Collectors want items to be complete, no scratches, in their original boxes. unused.

"The box attracted 18 bids from about nine different bidders. At first, the bidding remained relatively low -– less than $60 -– but in the last couple of days, the price of the box jumped in increments of about $50 as four bidders competed for it. The winning bid was $536."

Search it on Ebay under "completed items" and look at the ones that have actually sold, they will be in green. You will notice one with the box, instructions and everything will sell for more than twice what just the phone will.

In pristine condition, they are already selling for more than I paid for my brand new iPhone 3 last Christmas.
