Here is a quick recap to clear up any confusion.
A client was ready to sell an original unopened iPhone that he had stored away.
I contacted Richard Wright of Wright/Rago Auction in Chicago and arranged for it to be consigned along with an X-ray image.
The New York Times ran the story in the Style section which went viral.
Tech influencer, Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) buys it for $40,000.
He posts it on YouTube where it goes fully viral and gets nearly 4 million views in 4 days and 2 million on Twitter as well as numerous online stories, blogs, posts, comments, etc.
