I worked for an AT&T retail store during the exploding note 7 era. I had a customer who never opened the seal on their note 7 so they refused to return it after the recall because they were convinced it would be worth money one day.

The iconic note 7, truly a revolutionary paradigm shift in technology, a bit faster than the note 6

It was recalled twice before it was just cancelled. I think the logic was that they basically didn't exist so the rarity would make it worth something.

Ah yes! You never know! Terrorists may want to get a hold of some bombs and would pay top dollar for them and I heard the Note 7 was pretty useful for that.

I sold mine for $550 1 year after the debacle ended. I even sent the fireproof box they shipped me to return it in. I never returned the phone, ebayer scooped it up in minutes after it went live. I always wonder how much it might have sold for if I didn't use buy it now.
