SELLING MY ORIGINAL APPLE IPHONE FIRST GENERATION--WORKS PERFECTLY.

DETAILS:
1ST GEN 2G 8GB MODEL.  UNLOCKED FOR USE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
PURCHASED ON SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 2007 FOR $637.94...DAY AFTER ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE OF JUNE 29, 2007.
FIRST GENERATION 12 ICON BOX--VERY RARE--LATER VERSIONS HAD 13 ICONS.
COMES WITH ORIGINAL LAUNCH BAG, BOX, MANUALS, STICKERS, DOCKING STATION CHARGER, USB CABLE, SIM CARD, NEW ORIGINAL CLEANING CLOTH, NEW NEVER USED HEADPHONES.

Extremely rare FIRST Generation iPhone 2G 8GB in first issue 12-icon box. I am the original owner of this phone and purchased it in person the day after the iPhone launch...June 30, 2007...Didn't want to wait in those 4 hours lines on day 1 :)  Only the first issue release iPhones have 12 icons on the box. All other iPhone boxes, which aren't nearly as rare, have 13 icons.
This iPhone is unlocked for worldwide use. Battery holds its charge well.

INCLUDES: First Generation iPhone 8GB; Original Launch Bag; First Issue 12-Icon Box; All Manuals; Apple Decals; Docking Station Charger; USB Charging Cord; SIM card; Original and New Cleaning Cloth; New never used Headphones Still Wrapped.  A rare collector's item indeed!  

CONDITION: Phone functions perfectly, but is not new.  The display is completely scratch free...not a mark on it. There is however, a thin gray line across the very top of the LCD, which can be seen in the pictures.  The phone has always been in a protective Incase and never dropped, but the back of the phone has several scrapes caused by the protective rubber case which held it...dust and grit would get between the case and the phone and it caused scratches to the back aluminum...these can also be seen in the images.  All accessories, including rare launch bag and 12 icon box are basically the same as the day they were purchased.  Welcome any questions you may have.

I'll start with an offer of 0.1 BTC

Regarding collectibility...I defer to the market and the experts:

Complete First Gen iPhones packages with original box, paperwork and bag (very few have come available with launch bag), have been selling anywhere from a couple hundred to several thousand dollars...with several new sealed ones going for as much as $5000-$10,000 each.  Craziness.
