Until Apple finds a way to stop it, AppleUnsold is selling ex-Apple Store items, the store fittings like chargers or Apple Pencil trays that you could want, but then also in-store exclusive stickers that you'd have to be an Apple fanatic to buy.

Ever since the first ever Apple Stores back in 2001, each retail outlet has had custom-made fixtures and fittings. Now the Australia-based firm AppleUnsold will sell you these items that were never meant to be made available to the public.

Don't get too excited because AppleUnsold doesn't stock items like the Fifth Avenue store's glass cube, even though Apple has replaced that twice. The original glass cubes must have gone somewhere, but not to AppleUnsold.

More disappointingly, the new firm also lacks any of those great tables Apple Stores use. You want one, designers at Apple Park apparently use ones that at are at least very similar, they would go great in our kitchen.

But we can't have nice things. Because Apple will never sell what it sees as proprietary retail fixtures. Apple even patents some of these shop fittings.

At present, as spotted by Macworld, AppleUnsold lists 28 items. At time of writing, though, 27 of them are listed as sold out.

The only item actually still on sale is a series of Apple Pay Merchant Stickers. If you really want those for some unfathomable reason, a sheet of nine stickers costs $5, plus delivery — although the firm says it will pay US import tariffs for you.

It's possible that the Sold Out status on the other items isn't strictly true, however. The site says that preorders have been temporarily halted because of a "surge in recent orders."

The company claims that it is aiming to be fully restocked by mid-February. By which time, presumably, you will be able to order items such as:

  • MagSafe demo charger - $119
  • AirPods Max demo stand - $125
  • iPad ring stand - $45
  • Apple Vision Pro tray - $289
  • Fitness Towel Set - $32

Those prices are only a guide and depend on the items' condition. Curiously some are listed as being for sale either as used or brand new, which raises even more questions about where these items come from.

Unsurprisingly, AppleUnsold is less than forthcoming on this point. Various hints, plus the fact that it is regularly out of stock, suggest that it buys them when Apple refurbishes a store.

Apple is currently partway through a multi-year plan to refurbish stores across the globe, so presumably there will be stock for AppleUnsold for some time. That is, if Apple doesn't stop the company.

Now a website that was first registered at the end of November 2025, AppleUnsold was previously an eBay reseller. It appears to have only started on eBay in April 2025, though despite transitioning to a website, it continues to sell on the auction site.

There's no question but that Apple won't like this, yet there is a question over what it can do. There is the first sale principle, for instance, where a manufacturer can't stop a customer selling on an item.

But it gets murky if the items were not actually sold per se. We may never know Apple's arrangements, but it seems likely that it paid firms to remove old items during store refurbishment.

So money changed hands and, if all of this supposition is correct, the store's old items at least technically belong to the removal firm. That firm should in theory be able to do what it wants, including selling the items on to AppleUnsold.

But then all of this suggests that an obvious recourse for Apple is to stop this trade at source. Apple could just drop removal firms until they sign contracts agreeing not to sell on items.

Still for now, the company continues and if it does restock shortly, you'll just have to keep an eye out for what's available. Though if you spot them selling one of those Apple Store tables, tell us immediately.
