A factory sealed, first-generation iPhone sold at auction for a whopping
after a woman was gifted the phone in 2007
but never opened it because she didn't want to get rid of her other phone
The 2007 phone, still sealed in its box, was consigned by the owner
In all, 27 people bid for the phone that had been expected to sell for $50,000
Karen Green, the phone's original owner according to the listing
Because it was an 8GB – not 4GB – and was still in the original box
In 2007, the phone came out and, that summer, Green was gifted the phone
Green already had three phone lines with Verizon
