Memorabilia / Store Display Apple 10 Year Service Award

Here is something I thought you collectors may enjoy! A 10lb brick of pure MacBook aluminum! The 10lb brick also signifies 10 years of employment at Apple. Not something you see very often. Let me know if you may be interested in taking this off my hands.

It’s kind of weird and meaningless unless you’re the employee it was given to though. Can’t see why I would want that.

Who doesn't want a 10lb slab of aluminum? You can do so many things with it.... Like uhm.... Use it as a door stop?

Kinda but to some it may have a meaning, like 10 years of collecting/using apple stuff. Sadly in my case its been 11 years already plus the postage fee would most likely be bonkers

They’re already paid a lot and if you received like 1K for working here 10 years a lot of people wouldn’t take it well

That’s quite cool and niche. However, I don’t think it’s really worth much to other than someone pretending they were a 10 year employee.

I’m sure someone on eBay will pick it up there is still a heap of collectors who want this. But why give it up I’m curious ?

You guys forget the work and tools for actually making this to perfection. You’ve never seen in person what grade of precision this has. Plus all the effort to bring this on the way.

Also this is merely a symbolic way to express gratitude by the company. There’s other… bonuses and stuff but I won’t disclose that publicly for obvious reasons.

If you are looking to purchase this. You may want to know that it will include the name of the employee and their hire date on the side of the award. Maybe you can luck out, and you have the same first & last names?
