If you have a set or a collection, it can go for even more spectacular sums of money. “I guess the collectability is because of Steve Jobs, and the history of Apple.” “It’s because Apple’s been around for a while, and a lot of people, product-wise, they like Apple very much,” Brieto said. But he’s finding a growing demand for Apple-related goods. This is the second window display he’s put up for sale the first, a cardboard advertisement, sold recently for $2,000.īrieto doesn’t specialise in Apple products and collectibles, he usually trades in sports memorabilia. The window display piece is being sold by Hermie Brieto from Los Angeles, who took up selling memorabilia on eBay when his daughter was born so he could work from home and take care of her. It found that classic iPods in their original packaging were priced at collectibles levels – one U2 special edition, Terapeak noted, sold in November for $90,000 – and that ever since Apple discontinued the item the price of even late-model iPods had risen considerably.Īpple memorabilia and promotional materials also trade for huge sums, such as this advertisement for the first iPod for $8,999.99 or this Apple store window display for $5,599. Terapeak, a company which tracks pricing of collectibles on eBay, released a study on the pricing of Apple products following the iPod’s discontinuation. A second-generation, still-boxed iPod classic – that’s the last version that had the moving wheel – is currently listed for an extraordinary $19,999.99. A first generation iPod classic – “battery is really good for its age” – is on sale priced at $9,999.99. If you have a special edition, especially if it’s still in its original packaging, you could be looking at much more: Apple’s fourth-generation red-and-black special edition released in partnership with the band U2 are trading for around $7,000, used.Īnd that’s before you get to the real collectors’ items. But these are on the low end of the price scale.
