So, I retired my old iPhone 2G after the volume button had started acting up. It was actually stuck majority of the time causing the volume indicator to stay on the screen. Fine, no problem.. I was eligable for a 3G upgrade and so I did. I asked the Apple staff that helped me if there was a way to donate my 2G or have it recycled and they declined and said they don't have any programs as such.
I literally went home that day and just about tossed it into the trashcan. My half brother said I should just list it on eBay for someone to buy it for parts or something, so I figured why not. I set my reserve at $30 bucks so I can atleast justify a trip to the post office and the shipping cost.
1:00 AM comes and auction ends.. $225.00
Seriously, is there that much demand for a fucking 2G iPhone? I made it blatantly clear the phone's volume button isn't functioning correctly, and would be sold AS-IS to someone looking to fix it or use it for parts.
Can't say I'm complaining, but wow.. this just made my night
