Being a collector of anything has one major downside: the drain on your bank account. And if we start talking about Apple collectibles, you better be a millionaire if you’re planning to fill your house with old computers and devices from the company. Although there are collection alternatives that may be more interesting.
This is what we can check in stores like Etsy, where fans and enthusiasts of the bitten apple brand are selling creations that may pique your interest. Because having a translucent iMac from 20 years ago at home might be fantastic, but that doesn’t mean mugs or photos with Apple designs aren’t worth it. Let’s take a look at some examples.
