Former Apple employee named Sam Sung auctions off his business card for $80,000 (PHOTOS)
When an employee leaves their job, its not usual for their old business cards to be sold on eBay for thousands of dollars. However, that's exactly what happened to Sam Sung who worked at an Apple store.
Sam Sung, 25, who spent three years working in the Pacific Centre iStore in Vancouver, is auctioning off his bizarre business card.
His name got him some attention in late 2012, when Apple and Samsung were engaged in a string of vicious patent disputes.
Sam Sung has since left the company and has decided to raise money for charity by selling a framed, autographed presentation of his Apple Store shirt, name tag, and business card on Ebay.
He reached his goal to raise $10,000, the cost of one wish, on the second day of the online auction which opened Tuesday. As of noon Tuesday, the top bid was $80,200.
"I had a great time working for Apple and would recommend it to anyone. I hope my old business card will go to another fellow Apple enthusiast with a sense of humour and the desire to help raise some money for a good cause. Although the auction is for my business card alone, I have framed it alongside my old uniform [as seen in the picture] and I will arrange to courier it [frame, t-shirt and lanyard INCLUDED] to you. Good luck."
All money earned from the auction will go to Children's Wish, an area charity that grants wishes to kids with life-threatening illnesses.
The bidding started at a dollar and winner is to pay a mighty steep shipping charge of $70.
The eBay auction closes Aug. 15.
