If you've got old Apple products just gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, you might want to wipe them clean because you could be sitting on a little fortune.

Old-school Apple products, such as aging iPhones, iPods and Macs, have become lucrative collectibles as of late, and are even being sold for thousands!


According to The Guardian, the original iPod classic, which launched back in 2001, is selling on some resale sites for as much as $49,000! A first-generation iPhone is now worth as much as $24,000!

Professional eBay trader Hermie Brieto from Los Angeles believes that Apple's rich history is what's driving up prices. He says, "It's because Apple's been around for a while, and a lot of people, product-wise, they like Apple very much. I guess the collectability is because of Steve Jobs, and the history of Apple."
