22 AUGUST 2022 - While not nearly as historic as the computer that may have started Apple on its way, there’s word of a quirky Apple auction on eBay, with proceeds going to charity. Sam Struan used to go by the name Sam Sung. Sam Sung used to work for Apple and Sam Sung used to have Apple business cards. Apple Insider says he sold one of those several years ago, raising over $2,500 for Children's Wish BC & Yukon.

Now, a relative of his has found one of his old business cards. And so, they’re doing the charity auction thing again, though they’ve added a bit this time. The current auction includes a framed employee t-shirt, a lanyard, and - of course - the Sam Sung card. Proceeds for this auction will benefit the Downtown Eastside Women's Center of Vancouver. At the time of the Apple Insider piece bidding stood at CAD $620 (~US$477). Checking Sunday evening, bids had jumped quite a bit - just over CAD $1,100 (a bit less than US$870). The auction is live on eBay. Bidding closes at 1:58PM PDT/4:58PM EDT tomorrow - Tuesday 23 August.
