Former Glasgow Apple store worker called Sam Sung auctions off ID card for charity

A former Glasgow Apple store employee has sold his old store business card for a whopping £750 on eBay.

Sam Sung, who now goes by the name Sam Struan, worked as a specialist at the Buchanan Street store back in 2010 before he emigrated to Vancouver in 2012, where he also spent a year doing the same job in the Pacific Centre Apple store.

The uniqueness in seeing the words 'Sam Sung' and 'Apple' on the same business card saw Sam auction off an old business card from the Vancouver store - which he had been using as a bookmark.

After the auction went viral in Canada, the card sold for over $3,000, which kindhearted Sam donated to a children's charity.

And he has followed that up by auctioning off a similar business card - one of only two to exist- from his time working at the Glasgow store, after a family member came across it and posted it to Vancouver for him, CTV News reports.

Putting it up for sale on eBay, the card, presented in a signed frame along with an Apple T-shirt and his old lanyard he had kept as a memento, sold for $1,152.00, approximately £750.

Once more, Sam donated the money to charity, with the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre in Vancouver the beneficiary of Sam's generosity.
