This might be the only check you'll ever get from Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs holding the original iPhone in 2007.

A check Steve Jobs signed way back in 1976 has just gone up for auction and it is already worth 6000 times its original value. 

The $4.01 check was originally paid to a Radio Shack on July 23, 1976, when Jobs was just 22 years old. Accounting for inflation, that works out to just over $20 today. The current highest bid is now $25,000, with a potential buyer having to put down $27,500 to top it. The listing ends on December 7, but the 30-minute rule takes place before this, meaning only previous bidders can continue bidding until the end.
